About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline and at least four years of hands-on experience in board-level circuit design, analysis, and system integration are required.
  • Demonstrated expertise in analog and digital circuit design, component selection, tolerance analysis, and root-cause troubleshooting is required.
  • Proven experience designing power systems, DC-DC converters, switching power supplies, voltage regulators, and power management circuits is required.
  • Direct experience designing multilayer, mixed-signal printed circuit boards, including schematic capture, component placement, stackup design, impedance control, grounding, and design for electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference, is required.
  • Competence using standard lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers, for board bring-up, debugging, and Design Verification Testing is required.
  • Familiarity with common interfaces, including CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, RS-422/485, and UART, is required.
  • Ability to support integration of designs into larger vehicle electromechanical assemblies and harness interconnects is required.
  • Must be a U.S. Person and hold an active U.S. Department of Defense Secret clearance, or be eligible to rapidly reactivate a clearance held within the last 24 months.

Responsibilities

  • Own critical electrical subsystems end to end, from architecture and schematic capture through board bring-up, Design Verification Testing, and vehicle-level integration.
  • Develop avionics hardware supporting advanced hypersonic and high-speed vehicles.
  • Support integration of electrical designs into larger vehicle electromechanical assemblies and harness interconnects.

Desired Qualifications

  • An active Department of Defense Secret or Top Secret clearance is preferred.
  • Experience designing electronics for space, missile, or hypersonic environments, accounting for extreme vibration, thermal vacuum, and radiation-tolerant or radiation-hardened considerations, is preferred.
  • Experience with ECAD design tools such as Altium Designer is preferred.
  • Experience designing high-reliability hardware in fast-iterating environments, such as new-space, aerospace startups, or fast-paced defense programs, is preferred.
  • Experience with RCC-319 and Flight Termination Systems is preferred.
  • Understanding of battery management systems, high- and low-voltage power distribution, and actuator or motor drive electronics is preferred.

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
