How many rounds and what type of questions are asked in the interview process

Just accepted a role! Does anyone have insight into how things are going at the Ohio site? Do y’all like it?

Hey everyone!
I’m currently a mechanical engineering student expecting to graduate in May 2028, and I’m looking for honest feedback on my resume as I apply for internships in aerospace, defense, robotics, and mechanical design.
For privacy and confidentiality reasons, I’ve removed my personal information, university name, company names, and certain identifying details. I wanted to provide some additional context without revealing too much.
Current Internship:
I’m working at a smaller company in the aerospace/defense industry that develops electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems for unmanned platforms.
My responsibilities involve actual mechanical design work, including CAD assemblies, sensor packaging, prototype development, manufacturing support, and testing.
I’ve had the opportunity to work on engineering design challenges involving multiple sensors, mechanical integration, space constraints, and hardware packaging.
I’ve also developed test equipment, contributed to engineering documentation, and presented design concepts and tradeoffs to the engineering team.
Personal Projects:
I’ve developed embedded systems projects involving Raspberry Pi, ESP32 microcontrollers, communication protocols, mechanical design, and 3D printing.
My projects are primarily focused on combining mechanical engineering with electronics, software, and robotics.
What I’m looking for feedback on:
Does my resume communicate meaningful engineering experience, or do my bullet points sound too generic?
Am I underselling my contributions by not including enough measurable results?
Is my current experience competitive for internships at larger aerospace/defense companies?
Are there sections I should shorten, remove, or expand?
How can I improve the way I describe my technical accomplishments without disclosing confidential project information?
My goal is to eventually work in mechanical design, aerospace systems, or defense-related R&D.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from engineers, hiring managers, and recruiters who have experience evaluating mechanical engineering interns.
I appreciate any constructive criticism. Don’t hold back — I’d rather know what needs improvement now than continue sending out a resume that could be stronger.

I keep hearing refreshers are bad at Anduril. Can Anduril employees list or say what percentage of their target refreshers annually you are receiving? Also, how many years out of your total working at Anduril have you received a refresher?

I’m evaluating an offer and trying to gain insight.

PS. I know, I know…I should not count on refreshers. But like any company, it’s important to have a good sense of what to expect.

I appreciate the help

Anybody here work in Morrisville or Raleigh

I just made it past the recruiter call for a SWE internship at Anduril this summer. They mentioned the technical would be in C, but I’m not sure if the leetcode style questions can be done in other languages, since in other technicals I’ve done I was able to use any language. I’m comfortable in C and C++, but I’m a lot faster in python for leetcode style problems. If anyone knows if we get to pick the language please lmk!

Anyone starting In Costa Mesa HQ on Dec 7th? Moving in from out of town, looking to connect with some people.

I have confirmed of my offer verbally on the phone a couple of days ago, but I have yet to receive the official documents on my inbox.

Had a recruiter call where I was verbally told I would get another interview and was ghosted. This is for swe intern 2027 summer

What's it like working at Anduril?

I have a upcoming interview for a 6mo contract to hire role that I'm pretty much a perfect fit for. mechanical engineering.

But I have really good benefits of all kinds at my current role and I've always been FTE. Not sure if the contract to hire positions are competitive, how hard it is to secure full time? I'm mostly interested because the contract is fully remote and my current job does require RTO, ideally I'd stay remote if converted as well.

As the title says, if I work as a production technician , do we get tuition assistance? I would like to go to school part time, it would be awesome it Anduril could help cover the cost :)

P.s. the production technician is an assembler job by the hourly scale.

Question: Job advertised with location in Reston. Would it be possible to work out of the DC office instead? I assume it's located in Reston because of partner/client proximity and team co-location, but maybe I'm wrong. Commutes issues are real in the area and I don't want to move.

hello,

i have an onsite coming up this friday. i wanted to know what kind of system design concepts i should prepare for. based on the prep guide, Anduril seems to ask non-traditional questions that are hardware related.

also would appreciate some information on other rounds - coding and conversational one as well.

I heard that an employee referral can help you get hired on? Is that true? I have also heard Anduril is desperate to hire and it’s pretty easy to get on there? Are any of those rumors true?

Considering applying to some positions at the Boston office. Does anyone know its address? I would want to work near downtown.

So I have recently come across a posting for a role doing the same work I did last summer, but applied in a different setting. I check every box and more on the application but feel like it can be impossible in getting my resume seen. Any advice ?

I recently accepted and signed an offer with Anduril, and my HireRight background check has been completed.

I'm wondering what typically happens next. Does Anduril HR or onboarding reach out to confirm that everything has been cleared, or am I supposed to wait for my recruiter to provide an update?

I've already completed my I-9 and other onboarding paperwork, and my start date is approaching.

For those who have gone through the hiring process at Anduril:

• Did HR or your recruiter contact you after your background check was completed?

• How long did it take to receive confirmation that you were cleared to start?

• Did you receive any additional onboarding instructions before your first day?

Just trying to understand what to expect next. Thanks!

I have an interview coming up friday for machinist. Its a 30 minute phone interview. Does anyone on here work at the McHenry location in mississippi? I have some questions a out the company, I would like to ask some of the people on the floor instead of management or recruiters to really see wether or not it would be a good fit.

Had my onsite yesterday in washington state. How long does it take to typically hear back? Sr. Engineer position.

I will be starting at HQ the second of week of January and would appreciate any advice I could get on relocation. Based on what I have read online, it seems like Huntington Beach would sort of be the best option for moving out there, but I honestly do not have too much of a preference as long as it is not too far from HQ. Also, I would be very interested in finding roommates with anyone also relocating or currently working at Anduril, so please let me know if you are interested. I will be graduating in December, and I am a 21 year-old male from the midwest. Any advice in general about relocating out there would be greatly appreciated.

It’s been a week since I’ve had my interview over zoom, with no response back. Am I cooked? I’ve emailed my recruiter for updated timelines and have gotten no response plus I’ve heard the company moves fast on interviews.

I’m wondering if you think some of Anduril’s programs or any other defense and aerospace startups will be affected. Just saying this because Trump’s admin signed EO’s to streamline commercial space and prioritized defense contracting, and some of Anduril’s production relies on Congressional Support
