Draftsman, Counter Intrusion Full Time

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril’s Air and Ground Deterrence (AGD) Division develops integrated robotic systems designed to provide multi-domain situational awareness and force protection across land, sea, and air. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly detect and identify potential threats. close the kill chain against a broad range of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats.

Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the multidisciplinary Sentry Hardware team within AGD serves as the key system integrator of the Anduril Sentry Family of Systems (FoS). In particular, the Sentry Hardware Engineering Team drives end-to-end development, from architecture and ruggedized hardware design to verification, integration, and test, ensuring scalable, production and mission-ready solutions that meet the performance, reliability, and survivability demands of the U.S. Military and other key stakeholders.

ABOUT THE JOB

The Sentry Engineering team builds hardware products and systems that leverage artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. With an AI-enabled edge processing and a variety of radars and sensors with continuous 360 pan / tilt capability, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect, and track objects of interest to bring increased awareness to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports and other critical infrastructure.

We are looking for a Draftsman to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA. This role will support rapidly developed, ruggedized product introduction in addition to providing critical support; scaling legacy design concepts to full-rate production. You will assist a team of approximately 20 Mechanical Engineers to define consistent drawing standards, take lead on drawing package creation, and work with sustainment and quality engineering to improve the quality and clarity of legacy drawings, CAD files, and other relevant documentation. The ideal candidate will work closely with the three Sentry Mechanical Engineering leads to define drawing standards, educate junior engineers, and ultimately increase the quality of engineering documentation across the team.
