Engineering Solutions Application Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM:

ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Anduril’s hardware enterprise. It connects the full lifecycle, from concept to build to field feedback, into one operating environment built for speed, traceability, autonomy, and continuous improvement. That environment includes not just the software used to design, plan, and execute work, but also the factory-facing infrastructure that connects operators, machines, test systems, and OT networks into the same adaptive Build Chain. It is not a support function, but rather a strategic investment by Anduril that the operating system of the hardware lifecycle is how we win. It will be one of the mechanisms by which Anduril out-builds, out-adapts, and out-scales the traditional defense industrial base. We are looking for a Engineering Solutions Application Engineer to work with our team of developers and partner with cross functional teams across the company to develop customizations, optimize workflows and ensure engineering tools do not limit the speed of engineering design. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• You don't just know how to use the tools—you know the tips, tricks, and workarounds that make engineers 10x more productive
• You get energy from helping others succeed and light up when someone has that "aha moment" during training
• You create training content that people actually want to use because it's clear, practical, and solves real problems
• You form recommendations based on deep experimentation and hands-on testing, not just what the manual says
• When you discover a better way, you change course quickly and update your recommendations without ego
• You seek feedback from users and iterate on your processes based on real-world results
• You understand how data moves through our various downstream systems and optimize data flow
• You are able to identify overlapping capabilities and optimize for global organization.
• You will work with a high-functioning team of engineers in various cross functional teams with an emphasis on identifying and finishing business-critical projects
• You will help troubleshoot technical issues including those related with deployment, configuration and ongoing support

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• You have 5+ years of experience in a design engineering role building products, ideally in a fast-paced environment
• You hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering or related technical field (or equivalent education/work experience)
• You prioritize solutions that deliver immediate value to engineers over perfect but complex approaches
• You understand that adoption is as important as capability—the best process is the one people actually use
• You possess deep expertise in at least one engineering discipline and its associated tool stack (CAD, CAE, PLM, or discipline-specific applications)
• You have a strong understanding of engineering workflows from concept through production
• You have hands-on experience using engineering design tools and can quickly learn new platforms
• You have proven ability to troubleshoot technical issues and find practical solutions
• You are a U.S. Person (required for export control)5+ years of experience in a design engineering role building products, ideally in a fast-paced environment

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• You have experience using a wide array of engineering design tools across multiple disciplines
• You have training, instructional design, or technical education experience
• You have basic knowledge of scripting, automation, or tool customization
• You understand data flow between engineering systems (CAD, PLM, ERP, MES)
• You have experience in startup, defense, aerospace, or high-growth manufacturing environments
• You are familiar with PLM systems (Teamcenter, Windchill, etc.) and their integration with design tools
• You have a background supporting cross-functional engineering teams in complex product development
• You have knowledge of process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Agile)
