Mechanical Engineer Lethality

The Lethality team designs builds tests and fields mechanical warhead and ordnance systems that integrate directly with Anduril platforms.

Our engineers work across mechanical design manufacturing analysis testing safety and vehicle integration to move new concepts from an idea to tested hardware quickly. The team is highly hands-on and built for engineers who want to design new products solve difficult problems and see their decisions become real hardware.

The Lethality Team is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to help develop the next generation of warhead and ordnance systems.

You will design new mechanical hardware work directly with the people building it test your designs and use the results to make the next iteration better.

Yes you may actually get paid to blow things up.

You do not need to arrive as a warhead expert. We are looking for strong mechanical engineers with practical design experience sound engineering judgment curiosity and the ability to learn a highly specialized domain quickly.

• Design new mechanical hardware from requirements and early concepts through detailed CAD drawings fabrication assembly and test.
• Turn engineering ideas into manufacturable products by making practical decisions around materials tolerances interfaces manufacturing methods cost and assembly.
• Build test and improve your designs by working directly with manufacturing technicians analysis and test teams to identify problems and drive the next iteration.
• Integrate your hardware into larger systems by partnering with vehicle systems safety and other engineering teams to resolve interfaces and technical tradeoffs.
• Grow your technical ownership by progressing from defined components and workstreams toward increasingly independent subsystem design and decision-making.
  • IMPACT YOULL HAVE
    • Deliver new lethality hardware that directly supports U.S. and allied warfighters.
    • Take products from early concepts to physical hardware instead of maintaining legacy designs.
    • Develop specialized expertise in warhead and ordnance engineering alongside experienced technical leaders.
    • See the direct impact of your engineering decisions through manufacturing integration and live testing.

• BS in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related technical field.
• 1 year of practical end-to-end mechanical product design experience.
• Demonstrated experience taking a new mechanical product or design through multiple stages of development such as concept CAD drawings fabrication assembly testing and iteration.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals including materials tolerances interfaces manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability.
• Professional CAD experience creating mechanical parts assemblies and engineering drawings with the ability to explain design decisions tradeoffs and how test or engineering data informed the design.
• Ability to work onsite in Costa Mesa travel for testing as required and obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
• In this role you will be subject to pre-employment and randomized substance screening as required by the Company.

• Experience with NX Teamcenter or comparable CAD/PLM tools.
• Experience applying GD&T tolerance analysis and design for CNC machining or precision manufacturing.
• Experience developing hardware in a fast-paced R&D or new-product-development environment.
• Experience in aerospace defense space robotics automotive or other complex physical-product industries.
• Experience supporting mechanical environmental dynamic or system-level testing and using results to improve a design.
• Exposure to ordnance munitions energetics explosives weapons systems or other defense hardware.
