MRB Analysis Engineer, Fury

Anduril • Costa Mesa, CA

About The Position

The MRB Analysis Engineer will serve as the engineering authority for dispositioning Material Review Board (MRB) non-conformances involving metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles. The role performs structural substantiation—including static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling—using first-principles hand calculations and finite element methods. The engineer prepares defensible disposition packages to restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements, and evaluates use-as-is, repair, rework, or scrap outcomes.

The position also improves MRB methods, tools, and standard dispositions as production scales; monitors recurring non-conformances and drives root-cause and corrective-action efforts; and coordinates with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and Materials & Processes. It includes on-floor engineering support during builds and travel to manufacturing, integration, vendor, production, and test sites as needed.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in aerospace structural analysis, with direct experience dispositioning non-conformances through MRB, liaison, or stress engineering.
• Strong understanding of static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and load path analysis for metallic and composite structures.
• Proficiency with finite element analysis tools such as NASTRAN or equivalent, and classical hand-calculation methods.
• Experience analyzing and substantiating repairs for metallic and composite aircraft structures.
• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to produce clear, technically rigorous disposition packages under schedule pressure.
• Self-driven, autonomous, and adaptable in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Ability to travel up to 50% to vendors, production, and test sites as needed.

Nice To Haves

• Prior MRB signature or delegated authority on a production aerospace program.
• Experience in high-rate or rapidly scaling production environments.
• Familiarity with military airworthiness and structural substantiation standards such as MIL-HDBK-5 and MIL-STD-1530.
• Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure repair.
• CATIA or Siemens NX proficiency.
• Hands-on experience in an aircraft manufacturing or depot repair environment.
• Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs.

Responsibilities

• Disposition MRB non-conformances for metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles.
• Perform structural substantiation analysis, including static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling, using hand calculations and finite element methods.
• Prepare clear, defensible disposition packages that restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements.
• Develop and improve MRB work methods, tools, and standard dispositions as production rates increase.
• Monitor recurring non-conformances and drive root-cause and corrective-action efforts with Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials & Processes.
• Coordinate with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and Materials & Processes to resolve non-conformances while preserving structural integrity.
• Conduct trade studies comparing repair, rework, and scrap decisions, balancing schedule, cost, and performance.
• Provide on-the-floor engineering support during builds, including occasional travel to manufacturing and integration sites.
• Travel to vendors, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers.
• Top-tier benefits package described as comprehensive and competitive, available at little to no cost to employees.
