Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced FDM specialist to become the team’s go-to technical owner for our FDM capability. You’ll own FDM prototype builds from initial request through finished hardware. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Own FDM builds end to end, from CAD and requirements review through file preparation, printing, post-processing, inspection, and delivery
- Operate, calibrate, and maintain a fleet of industrial and development-grade FDM printers
- Review incoming CAD for printability and identify issues with geometry, wall thickness, orientation, tolerances, mating features, supports, and clearances before machine time is committed
- Partner directly with design engineers to understand lead time, end use, and required physical properties, then recommend the right material, orientation, process, and build strategy
- Prepare and optimize builds using slicer/build-preparation software, including custom toolpath development when standard settings will not produce the required result
- Balance approximately 10–20 active jobs, sequencing work across machines based on priority, machine availability, material, build time, and technical requirements

ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril’s Additive Manufacturing team is a high-speed development lab supporting some of our highest-priority programs. We turn evolving designs into physical hardware that engineers can test, learn from, and iterate on immediately.
This is not a production print farm. We operate in a high-mix, low-volume prototype environment where quality, technical judgment, and speed matter more than pushing identical parts through a machine. Our technicians work...
