ABOUT THE TEAM

The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together. We leverage existing Anduril drone platforms like Ghost or Altius, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril’s Lattice ecosystem.

ABOUT THE JOB

This is a General Interest application inviting individuals from every corner of the hardware engineering spectrum—from Electro-Mechanical Design to Integration and Testing—to apply and contribute their skills. We welcome innovative thinkers who value collaboration, continuous learning, and making an impact in technology.

We are seeking diverse skill sets—including Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Integration, Validation & Testing —to join our rapidly growing team in Abu Dhabi, UAE. In this role, you will solve challenges in application development, systems programming, networking, and autonomy, ensuring Anduril products seamlessly integrate to achieve critical mission outcomes. If you have a "Whatever It Takes" mindset—executing expediently, scalably, and pragmatically while making sound engineering decisions—this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Execute rapid evaluation of engineering concepts in a wide range of fields
• Perform trade studies and physics-based analysis of blue-sky engineering problems
• Design, implementation, and test of complex electro-mechanical systems
• High level system ownership with large levels of professional autonomy
• Lead design reviews, run analysis, visit vendors, define and execute hardware test plans
• Build prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful projects into production
• Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers as needed
• Travel to test sites as needed
• Use first principles physics as a basis for every decision
• Wear many hats

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• BS, MS or PhD in an engineering field, or equivalent work experience.
• Experience in an immersive technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings).
• Professional experience in mechanical or electrical design in a professional setting.
• Experience designing mechanical parts (CAD). Understanding of manufacturing methods (machining, sheet metal, composites, 3D printing, injection molding, composite lamination, etc).
• Ability to read, interpret, and manipulate schematics, wiring diagrams, and layouts.
• High competence with, and fluid use of, engineering first principles.
• A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact.
• Must be willing to travel up to 25%.
• Must be eligible to obtain a UAE security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience developing aircraft subsystem layouts, performing architectural trade studies, and evaluating vendor performance data.
• Competency in engineering analysis, including structural, thermal, and electrical.
• Experience integrating weapons, payloads, or avionics onto aircraft.
• Hands-on prototyping (soldering, board assembly, harnessing).
• Outstanding leadership and interpersonal skills.
• Familiarity with designing for rugged environments.
• Experience integrating electrical and mechanical subsystems (sensors, payloads, weapons, etc.) onto air vehicles.
• Experience in developing a variety of electronics hardware products (UAVs, wearables, firearms, high power electric propulsion, optical systems, or other complex mechanisms).
• Experience in characterizing circuits at both schematic and board level.
• Practical experience with electrical engineering tools (Oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, multimeters).
