Senior Mechanical Engineer, Thermal Analysis

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract relevant content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: description of Anduril, mission, Lattice OS, etc. That's about the company and role context. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the team". We'll put under "About the role". Then: "The Test and Analysis team is responsible for ensuring that emerging products are ready for the harsh conditions of air, land, sea, and space environments. Our team supports multi-disciplinary product teams across the full life cycle to design, develop, and validate new and existing products. This includes requirements analysis, environmental and electromagnetic interference testing, reliability testing, and manufacturing sustainment efforts. The Test and Analysis team achieves these objectives through consistently striving to understand primary design drivers through analytical modeling, including specialized structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis, along with strategic engineering validation and qualification test campaigns. This fused approach ultimately enables us to identify opportunities for product robustness and quickly implement solutions to ensure critical capabilities efficiently make it into the hands of our military and its allies." That's description of team responsibilities. Could go under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We'll decide. Then: "We are looking for a Senior Thermal Analyst to join our rapidly growing team in Lexington, MA. In this role, you will be responsible for performing thermal analysis and taking ownership of thermal design aspects across hardware development programs. You will execute first order assessment of designs to guide preliminary design architecture, develop detailed analytical models to mature prototype designs and develop predictions to support hardware testing. If you are someone who is excited to work on new projects from conceptualization through production and are passionate about developing validated and correlated models to support the rapid prototyping of cutting edge systems." That's role description. Then "What You’ll Do" bullet list (actually sentences). Let's extract each bullet: - Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. - Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply based on state of hardware design and program goals - Develop appropriate CFD models and simulations to predict temperatures, heat transfer, and fluid characteristics as needed to meet design schedules. - Generate, maintain, and correlate integrated FEMs for imaging platforms. - Perform test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions - Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including fundamental (looks truncated; maybe "including fundamental"? We'll keep as is) - Prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers - Stay current with advancements in thermal analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards These are responsibilities. Then "Required Qualifications" list: - Currently pursuing or have obtained a MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics - 7+ years of experience in a thermal analysis or thermo-physics analysis role - Thermal FEA experience – STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm - Familiarity with Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models and performing data acquisition & post-processing - Experience with performing test-model correlation and test based characterization of critical modelling input parameters - Good at working independently and with various teams and key stakeholders - Highly motivated, self-starting, results oriented, and capable of working in a dynamic environment - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance Then "Preferred Qualifications": - Performed structural, thermal, and optical performance (STOP) models for high performance imaging systems - General knowledge of climatic and/or dynamic testing including understanding of various instrumentation and data acquisition fundamentals - Knowledge on how to run and operate chambers, DAQs, and other major test apparatus - CAD skills (any platform) and ability to make high quality engineering drawings that meet common industry standards - Experience in an immersive interdisciplinary technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings) - Basic knowledge of MIL-STD-810 or equivalent Then "US Salary Range $146,000—$194,000 USD" Then "Benefits" paragraph: "The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next. For more information, Explore Our Benefits." So benefits content is generic but we have some specifics: equity grants, top-tier benefits, health, recovery. We'll include Benefits section. Pay section: we have salary range. So include Pay. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications? But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide what to put where. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to "Requirements" and Preferred Qualifications to "Qualifications" or "Skills". But we also have skills like MATLAB/Python, CFD, FEA, etc. Those could go under Skills. However we must not invent sections lacking content. We have content for Requirements (the required qualifications). We have content for Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). We have content for Skills (maybe technical skills like MATLAB/Python, CFD, FEA, CAD, etc). But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think. We could structure: - About the role: company description + team description + role overview. - Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" bullet list. - Requirements: the Required Qualifications list. - Qualifications: the Preferred Qualifications list. - Skills: maybe we could extract specific technical skills from responsibilities and qualifications (like MATLAB/Python, CFD, FEA, STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, Flotherm, CAD, etc). But we risk duplication. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section? But they ask to use those headings if content exists. We have both required and preferred; we could put required under "Requirements" and preferred under "Qualifications". That seems fine. Skills: we could list specific skills like "Thermal FEA (STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, Flotherm)", "MATLAB/Python", "CFD modeling", "CAD", etc. But those are already in qualifications. Might be redundant but still could be a separate section if we have distinct content not covered elsewhere. However we might avoid Skills to keep fewer sections. Pay: salary range. Benefits: benefits description. Schedule: none -> omit. Thus final HTML will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format: headings

for each section. Then content: use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide which content is list vs prose. About the role: we have several paragraphs describing company, team, role. Could be prose (

  ). Could also split into multiple

  paragraphs. Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You’ll Do". Use

  • . Requirements: list of required qualifications. Use
    • . Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications. Use
      • . Benefits: prose describing benefits; could be

        . Pay: prose with salary range; could be

        . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the lists. Let's extract exact text. About the role content: First paragraph: "Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years." Second paragraph: "The Test and Analysis team is responsible for ensuring that emerging products are ready for the harsh conditions of air, land, sea, and space environments. Our team supports multi-disciplinary product teams across the full life cycle to design, develop, and validate new and existing products. This includes requirements analysis, environmental and electromagnetic interference testing, reliability testing, and manufacturing sustainment efforts. The Test and Analysis team achieves these objectives through consistently striving to understand primary design drivers through analytical modeling, including specialized structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis, along with strategic engineering validation and qualification test campaigns. This fused approach ultimately enables us to identify opportunities for product robustness and quickly implement solutions to ensure critical capabilities efficiently make it into the hands of our military and its allies." Third paragraph: "We are looking for a Senior Thermal Analyst to join our rapidly growing team in Lexington, MA. In this role, you will be responsible for performing thermal analysis and taking ownership of thermal design aspects across hardware development programs. You will execute first order assessment of designs to guide preliminary design architecture, develop detailed analytical models to mature prototype designs and develop predictions to support hardware testing. If you are someone who is excited to work on new projects from conceptualization through production and are passionate about developing validated and correlated models to support the rapid prototyping of cutting edge systems." We'll combine into maybe two

        blocks: one for company overview, one for team and role. But we must not lose any detail. We'll keep as separate paragraphs. Responsibilities list: - Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. - Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply based on state of hardware design and program goals - Develop appropriate CFD models and simulations to predict temperatures, heat transfer, and fluid characteristics as needed to meet design schedules. - Generate, maintain, and correlate integrated FEMs for imaging platforms. - Perform test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions - Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including fundamental - Prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers - Stay current with advancements in thermal analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards Note: the last bullet "including fundamental" seems truncated; we keep as is. Requirements list: - Currently pursuing or have obtained a MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics - 7+ years of experience in a thermal analysis or thermo-physics analysis role - Thermal FEA experience – STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm - Familiarity with Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models and performing data acquisition &
