About The Position

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. We are looking for a Structural Analyst to join our rapidly growing team in Lexington, MA. In this role, you will be responsible for performing structural analysis and taking ownership of structural loads and design aspects across hardware development programs. You will execute first order assessment of designs to guide preliminary design architecture, develop detailed analytical models to mature prototype designs and develop predictions to support hardware testing. If you are someone who is excited to work on new projects from conceptualization through production and are passionate about developing validated and correlated models to support the rapid prototyping of cutting edge systems.

Requirements

Minimum BS in an engineering discipline
5+ years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads development related role
Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties
Structural FEA Experience (ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN) including solution sequences for linear and non-linear static and buckling analyses, modal analysis, frequency response, and random response analyses
Experience with performing stress, strain, fatigue and fracture analysis in support of customer requirements sell-off
Familiarity with Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models and performing data acquisition & post-processing
General knowledge of environmental test instrumentation and data acquisition
Good at working independently and with various teams and key stakeholders
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance (use appropriate one from here - Recruiter to own)

Nice To Haves

Advanced graduate degrees (Masters or PhD)
Structural testing experience (static, buckling, cyclic, vibration) including sensor selection, data acquisition, and data post-processing
Experience with analysis of optomechanical systems including design of athermalized systems and development of structural, thermal, and optical performance (STOP) models
Experience with space system dynamics analysis and testing, including force limiting and pyroshock
Proficiency with Femap and NASTRAN
Experience with structural analysis of PCBAs
Basic knowledge of MIL-STD-810 or equivalent

Responsibilities

Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply based on state of hardware design and program goals
Develop appropriate computational models and simulations to predict stress distribution, deformation, fracture, and fatigue life as needed to meet design schedules. Generate, maintain, and correlate integrated FEMs for imaging platforms.
Perform test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions
Prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers
Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including static, dynamic, and fatigue tests
Stay current with advancements in stress analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards
