Mechanical Engineer III, Manufacturing Test

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Mechanical Engineer III in the Manufacturing organization, you will design complex mechanical assemblies for PCBA and product level test systems. You will be designing fixtures with tight tolerances and pneumatic / manually actuated assemblies. You will need experience with surfaces to mate supports, jigs, and clamps to our shipping products. You will steer product design teams though your expertise of DFM / DFT, and enable complex analysis with FEA tools. The team will build and source large electromechanical fixtures for manufacturing test systems, your CAD designs, system level architecture, and experience with sensors and actuators will help us rebuild the arsenal.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Build things that test things. Design mechanical assemblies using professional CAD design tools.
• Work with rapid fabrication teams or 3rd party suppliers to source equipment.
• Integrate your designs into Anduril’s PDM systems. You will follow the same process for component design and release that our product design teams use.
• Work with design teams to integrate mechanical DFM / DFT requirements into our products.
• Develop complex electromechanical systems within a multidisciplinary group. You will work directly with software and electrical engineers, solving problems to manufacture and test products in air, land and sea
• Generate test work instructions that can be easily followed by technician team in MES. Train technicians on equipment use as required.
• Determine root cause of product failures and recommend appropriate corrective actions (RCCA).
• Analyze test data, document results, and provide detailed reports to identify defects and areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with design engineers to provide feedback and recommendations for product enhancements based on test outcomes.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience with emphasis on product designs that have gone to manufacturing.
• Expert capability with (at least one) Mechanical Design package(s).
• Experience with contract manufacturers, in-house fabrication, and prototyping process.
• Familiarity with electronics test equipment such as load cells, strain gauges, multimeters, etc.
• Strong root cause analysis skills of non-conforming hardware.
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal and communication skills.
• Familiar with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems.
• Experience working on projects that involve the integration of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems.
• Ability to obtain and maintain US DoD clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 7+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Pursuing a Master’s of Science in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or related field.
• Familiarity with NX and Solidworks CAD design packages.
• Experience with PCBA test fixturing design.
• Experience working alongside Industrial Design or Product Design teams (surfacing, ergonomics, etc.)
• Experience with mechanical systems related test (Thermal, Vibration, etc.)
• Active Security Clearance or ability to obtain one.
