As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will lead a team to conduct mechanical design and analysis of solid rocket motor components, including motor cases, nozzles, propellant grains, igniters, and/or ignition safety components.

The right person for this role has a strong command of mechanical design and stress and thermal analysis principles as well as a solid handle on the usage of tools common in industry.

If you are someone who is hardware-focused, detail-oriented, and a strong technical leader, then this role is for you.

Lead a team to perform CAD design activities of mechanical components and finite element analysis of structural and thermal systems.

Develop and implement the mechanical solution architecture working with a Chief Engineer.

Plan the team’s tasks and deliverables to achieve project milestones, and maintain accountability for the team's schedule execution and quality of deliverables.

Anduril’s Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) is a division with two missions: 1) build highly capable autonomous drones, and 2) build solid rocket motors at scale. We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high-volume production methods—delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers & hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from autonomous aerial systems to high-performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment.
