Senior Structural Analyst, Space

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.

7 + years of experience in a structures, dynamics, or loads related role with high ownership and accountability for hardware outcomes.

Experienced using FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN) with a focus in NASTRAN solution sequences for linear and non-linear static, dynamic, and buckling analyses.

Structural testing experience (static, dynamic, shock) including sensor selection, data acquisition, and data post-processing.

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.

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.

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.
