Structural Analyst, Space

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril’s Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We’re developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested war-fighting domain.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Support new space hardware programs from concept through launch as a dedicated structural analyst. Quantify and document load cases and environments. Perform stress analysis to determine the strength, life, and safety margins using first order methods and more advanced analytical methods. Use first principles as a basis for every decision. Discern the right level of analysis to apply. Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. Develop appropriate computational models and simulations to predict dynamic environments, stress distribution, deformation, fracture, and fatigue life as needed to meet design schedules. Collaborate with other hardware engineering disciplines and guide design decisions based on analysis results. Prepare technical reports and present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers. Support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including static, dynamic, shock, and fatigue tests. Lead trade studies and mass optimization efforts to improve designs. Correlate model to the test data. Stay current with advancements in stress analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards. Ensure compliance with internal and external customer requirements, regulations, and safety standards throughout the design and analysis process.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

BS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures. Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties. Experience with CAD tools (NX, Solidworks, etc.) Proficiency in MATLAB or Python for developing analytical models, data acquisition, and automation. Highly motivated, self-starting, and able to perform duties autonomously without supervision. Very organized and willing to establish scope and requirements for ill-defined problems. Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures. 2 + years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads related role with high ownership and accountability for hardware outcomes.
