From Anduril's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.
As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
The Maneuver Dominance team is building Thunder - an autonomous attack rotorcraft built to fight alongside crewed combat aviation to deliver overwhelming mass effects deep beyond the front lines. The team in London builds the Mission System and the autonomy that makes aircraft like Thunder work.
Autonomy is only as good as the link that carries it. Thunder is a compact airframe with weapons, sensors and radios competing for the same antenna real estate, flying low and in formation, in a spectrum that is actively contested. That is the problem you would own.
Anduril is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer, Test Fixture Design to join the Thunder team in our Costa Mesa, CA office. Flight test validation moves only as fast as your ground test infrastructure allows. In this role, you will own the physical architecture, mechanical design, and rapid build of mission-critical test fixtures, structural test frames, and surrogate vehicle systems.
Your hardware will validate everything from high-density avionics integration and dynamic payload releases to rotor vibration survivability and full-vehicle "iron bird" ground setups.
You will bridge the digital design and physical test worlds. Acting with high ownership and autonomy, you will derive load cases, architect rigid and reconfigurable test stands, integrate test instrumentation (sensors, load cells, actuators), and collaborate closely with machine shops and assembly technicians to bring test beds to life in days and weeks—not months.
