Sheet Metal Fabrication Tech - Prototype Development

The role

You will build prototype sheet-metal hardware from concept to completion. You will use drawings, CAD models, and work instructions to perform cutting, forming, and finishing.

What you will do

• Build prototype sheet-metal hardware from concept through completion.
• Develop flat patterns and bend sequences.
• Set up, program, and operate fabrication equipment.
• Select tooling, establish setups, and troubleshoot issues.
• Perform secondary operations like deburring, drilling, and tapping.
• Inspect work throughout the build.
• Partner with engineers on design-for-fabrication considerations.
• Cross-train on additional machines and fabrication processes.
• Maintain fabrication equipment and work areas.

Required qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in sheet metal fabrication, machining, manufacturing, automotive, motorsports, or another mechanically focused fabrication environment; or successful completion of an a
• Ability to read and work from technical drawings, sketches, models, or fabrication instructions.
• Working knowledge of basic shop math and experience using precision measuring tools.
• Demonstrated mechanical aptitude and ability to learn new equipment, processes, and technical concepts.
• Ability to take ownership of assigned work and follow through with limited supervision.
• Willingness to develop proficiency across multiple sheet-metal fabrication processes.
• Ability to work safely in an industrial fabrication environment and follow shop safety procedures.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information.

Nice to have

• Experience setting up or operating CNC press brakes, laser cutters, waterjets, or comparable sheet-metal fabrication equipment.
• Experience developing flat patterns and applying concepts such as bend allowance/deduction, K-factor, springback, and bend sequencing.
• CAD/CAM experience with NX, SolidWorks, OMAX, AMADA, SigmaNEST, or comparable tools.
• Experience in a prototype, R&D, custom fabrication, aerospace, automotive, motorsports, or other low-volume development environment.

Benefits

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

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information.
• By submitting your application, you consent to Anduril Industries using a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening.
