Production Mechanical Engineer, Space

The role

You will own the production readiness of space hardware by driving maturing and flight-proven designs to repeatable, higher-rate manufacturing. You will modify existing designs, manage bills of material, and partner with manufacturing and supply chain teams.

What you will do

• Use first principles to simplify designs and improve DFM/DFA/DFT
• Modify and mature existing designs to resolve production problems
• Update designs to reduce build and test cycle times and improve yield
• Own bills of material and engineering drawings
• Process engineering changes (ECO/ECN) and manage revisions
• Propagate engineering changes through assembly hierarchies
• Act as the Responsible Engineer to disposition non conformances and author red-lines
• Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, and test engineering for production transitions
• Build and validate prototypes and production trial builds
• Create technical documentation including assembly instructions, test plans, and reports

Required qualifications

• BS or higher degree in engineering or a hard science
• CAD skills and ability to make high quality engineering drawings including GD&T
• Experience taking hardware designs into manufacturing and production
• Experience transitioning hardware from prototype or low-rate to higher-rate production
• Working knowledge of BOM structures, revision control, and engineering change orders (ECO/ECN)
• Demonstrated hands-on fabrication and assembly skills
• Experience working with hand tools, mill, lathe, etc.
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals: heat transfer, statics, solid mechanics, materials
• Familiarity with tolerance analysis and inspection methods
• Excellent attention to detail
• Highly motivated, self-starting, and able to perform duties autonomously without supervision
• Very organized and willing to establish scope and requirements for ill-defined problems

Nice to have

• 4+ years of mechanical design or production/sustaining engineering experience in a professional setting with space hardware
• Experience in NX/Teamcenter or equivalent CAD/PLM
• Experience with nonconformance disposition and Material Review Board, root cause and corrective action (RCCA), and first article inspection (FAI)
• Experience designing tooling, fixtures, and ground support equipment
• Ability to integrate electronic components (PCBAs, motors, sensors, etc.) into mechanical designs
• Experience developing code in higher-level languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB, C++)
• Experience with statistical process control, tolerance stack-ups, or design of experiments (DOE)

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• Consent to Anduril Industries using a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening
