About the role
Anduril Industries's standard text
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 warfighting domain.
ABOUT THE JOB
You'll own spacecraft and payload structural analysis from conceptual design through environmental testing and launch. Unlike larger firms where analysts get siloed into statics or dynamics, you'll work across both. Most of our programs are early-stage, so you'll shape designs from the start and see your analysis carry hardware all the way to orbit.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Perform static and dynamic stress analysis — starting with hand calculations and first-order models before moving to detailed computational methods.
- Quantify load cases and environments for launch and on-orbit operations; determine strength, life, and safety margins.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to guide design decisions based on analysis results.
- Support test campaigns — instrumentation selection, execution, data processing, and model correlation.
- Lead trade studies and mass optimization efforts.
- Prepare technical reports and present findings to internal teams and customers.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- BS or higher in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures.
- Strong foundation in statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties.
- First-principles mindset — comfortable starting with hand calculations to frame problems before reaching for detailed tools.
- Experience with CAD tools (NX, Solidworks, or similar).
- Proficiency in MATLAB or Python for analytical models and data processing.
- Involvement in a hands-on technical project — competitive engineering club (FSAE, Baja, rocket team, aerospace club) or a co-op/internship analyzing or designing real hardware.
- Highly motivated, self-starting, and comfortable working autonomously.
- Organized and willing to define scope for problems with undefined requirements.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN).
- Structural testing experience — sensor selection, data acquisition, and post-processing.
- Co-op or internship in a startup or fast-paced engineering environment.
- Familiarity with industry standards for materials (MMPDS) or analysis methodologies (GSFC-STD-7000, NASA-HDBK-7002, NASA-STD-5020).
- Eligibility to obtain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
