Naval Architect

At Anduril Australia we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface and other domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of long endurance multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects including but not limited to the Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) Program require Mechanical Engineers with broad experience to drive the delivery a variety of software enabled hardware capabilities to our customers. Anduril Mechanical Engineers rapidly develop expertise in new domains in order to architect design deliver support and evolve next generation capabilities through the entire product life-cycle.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Creating detailed plans and specifications for new designs or derivatives of the Anduril Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (XL-AUVs).
• Simulation and analysis of vehicle structures including global and local structural analysis and modal/spectral response analysis.
• Hydrostatic stability calculations for submerged and surfaced vehicles.
• Mechanical design prototype and build of complex structures and mechanisms.
• Ensure all designs meet internal and external maritime standards.
• Act as a subject matter expert for your areas of expertise as they relate to the delivery of Anduril technology capabilities including areas such as part design analysis loads development material selection structural sizing FEM analysis working with both metallic and composite materials.
• Inspecting vehicles for structural issues reviewing the construction maintenance and repair of structures to ensure compliance with design specifications and regulations.
• Supporting testing of vehicle buoyancy trim and stability.
• Design and implement integrated systems including advanced and sensitive platforms and payloads that rapidly delivers capability beyond the scope of current systems with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time.
• Empathise with end-users and drive solutions that balance their needs with external constraints restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
• Contribute to the design and development of technology components across Anduril with the aim of developing components that are re-usable across multiple Anduril product lines.
• Contribute to the design implementation and execution of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of structural hardware including full lifecycle testing monitoring and operation.
• Support vehicle and payload manufacturing testing and deployment.
• Travel to co-locate with end-users vendors or the integration and test team up to 20% of the time.
• Work as a member of a multi-disciplinary engineering team including as a mentor for more Junior Engineers from differing backgrounds.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelors degree in Naval Architecture Mechanical Engineering Aerospace a relevant field or equivalent experience.
• Professional experience working as a Mechanical Structural Analyst and/or Naval Architect with one or more domains and/or technologies of expertise.
• Extensive knowledge of analytical structural analysis methods for aluminium structures. Composite structural knowledge looked upon favorably but not essential.
• Professional experience developing Finite Element Method (FEM) models for the purposes of load development part stress and strain evaluation and modal analysis.
• Capacity to work holistically on complex mechanical systems and structures across design implementation operation and sustainment.
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a complex structural components and assemblies including stakeholder engagement requirements definition roadmap management team co-ordination design implementation sustainment and evolution.
• Capacity to learn and grow individually while being part of a dynamic team building cohesion and capacity.
• Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with the design analysis implementation and support of naval structures mechanical parts and assemblies.
• Experience working within the maritime defence domains.
• Experience with NX FEMAP and Teamcenter or similar CAD FEA and PLM systems.
• Experience with machining sheet metal injection molding composites and/or additive manufacturing.
• Experience within the product delivery lifecycle including manufacturing system acceptance deployment and sustainment.
