Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Anduril Industries as an employer.

What you need

  • MS or higher degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, applied physics, or a related field with a focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics
  • In-depth understanding of heat transfer and fluid dynamics
  • 5+ years of experience designing thermal solutions for electronics or integrated hardware products
  • Practical experience with electronics cooling and packaging—component and board-level thermal management, TIMs, heat sinks, heat pipes, cold plates, and enclosure heat rejection
  • Practical experience designing both passive and active thermal management systems
  • Thermal testing experience—sensor selection, data acquisition, and data post-processing

Nice to have

  • Experience developing code in higher-level languages like Python or MATLAB for applications such as lumped-capacitance steady-state and transient analysis
  • Experience with thermal design across multiple product classes—air vehicles, maritime or ground systems and electronics enclosures, or wearable/body-worn devices
  • Familiarity with defense/aerospace environmental standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810) and thermal derating of electronic components
  • Experience with active cooling approaches such as fans, TECs, liquid cooling, or two-phase systems

What you get

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees
  • Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed for specific experience levels, only a range provided
  • Role involves significant responsibility and ownership of thermal design across diverse systems
  • Must be able to obtain a Top Secret security clearance, which may be a barrier for some candidates
