Omen is Anduril's hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle (AAV) that packs the endurance, payload, and mission flexibility of much larger airplanes into a novel runway-independent Group 3 platform. Omen can operate from ship decks, beaches, or remote island clearings, providing true runway independence and freedom of maneuver across defense and civilian domains. Omen is the first tail-sitter aircraft with a mass-production contract, with an order of 50 systems representing a decisive investment that anchors production and accelerates the development of future systems. You will work on new aircraft development in a lean, high-ownership culture where you directly shape the product and operate at a velocity to fly new designs within months, not years Here you will work on core product development for unmanned rotorcraft and complex systems, including but not limited to composites, mechanisms, structures and tooling. The ideal candidate would be practical, hands-on and a self starter. High growth potential is possible as well as additional leadership opportunities. * Critical member of team for selection and integration of aircraft engines, engine components, and fuel systems on unmanned air vehicles * Design, fabricate, and test prototype components and control systems * Plan, instrument, and execute tests of aircraft propulsion systems * Coordinate with engine vendors, develop strategic partnerships, and manage development projects * Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers as needed * Critical member of team supporting CAD design for internal aerodynamic loft, surfaces and structures * Travel to test sites as needed, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process.
