Senior Mechanical Engineer, Counter Intrusion

ABOUT THE JOB

The Sentry Engineering team builds hardware products and systems that leverage artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. With an AI-enabled edge processing, continuous 360 pan / tilt capability, and a variety of radars and sensors, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect, and track objects of interest to bring increased awareness to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports and other critical infrastructure. This role will own rapidly developed, ruggedized product introduction in addition to scaling legacy design concepts to support full-rate production. The ideal candidate will possess a rapid prototyping, growth mindset while ensuring concepts can scale rapidly to production-ready designs capable of deployment throughout the world.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own ruggedized hardware design from concept generation to production realization.
• Use first principles physics as a basis for every decision.
• Lead design reviews, run analysis, and define and execute hardware test plans to ensure product reliability in many of the harshest environments on earth.
• Coordinate across Anduril internal departments to build prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful design concepts into production.
• Support critical hardware demonstrations with internal and external customers as needed.
• Travel to test sites and vendors as needed.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Self starter with 8+ years of mechanical/electromechanical design experience in a professional setting.
• Experience in immersive technical projects (Formula SAE, Baja SAE, SAE Aero etc).
• 3D CAD proficiency (any platform) and ability to understand and apply GD&T to create high quality engineering drawings.
• Demonstrated hands-on fabrication skills.
• BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in NX/Teamcenter.
• M.Eng, MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience developing ruggedized electromechanical assemblies from concept to low-rate production for automotive, space, or military applications.
• Ability to integrate electronic components into mechanical designs (motors, controllers, sensors, radars etc.).
• Experience with production processes, including machining, sheet metal, injection molding, welding, wire harnessing and 3D printing to inform design for manufacturability.
