Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Stress Engineer to join their Maneuver Dominance team in London. This team focuses on developing aerial robotic systems designed to operate in large coordinated teams alongside ground maneuver forces. The role involves contributing to the development of unmanned rotorcraft and complex systems, including the analysis and development of novel payload carriage and release systems.
The Senior Stress Engineer will be responsible for analyzing the payload carriage and release system for new aircraft types. This includes developing computational models and simulations to predict stress distribution, natural frequencies, load paths, deformation, fracture, and fatigue life. Collaboration with Mechanical Design Engineers is essential to create and refine design solutions based on best practices. Additionally, the role involves supporting the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including static, dynamic, vibration, and fatigue tests.
Candidates must possess a BEng, BSc, MEng, MSc, or higher in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or equivalent work experience. A minimum of 10 years in a technical engineering role within a professional aerospace setting is required, demonstrating successful stakeholder management and project delivery. Strong proficiency in FEA software (preferably ANSYS or Abaqus) for linear and non-linear static analyses is essential. Experience with NX/Teamcenter and proficiency in CAD software, particularly in complex fixturing and tooling design, are also necessary. Proficiency in Matlab or Python for developing analytical models, data acquisition, and automation is expected. A deep understanding of core engineering principles, mechanics of composite and metallic materials, design, analysis, and testing is crucial. Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.K. security clearance.
