About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, is required; alternatively, six or more years of advanced knowledge acquired through work experience and/or intellectual instruction may substitute for a degree.
  • At least four years of professional experience in electrical hardware design, emphasizing products that have gone to manufacturing.
  • Expertise in PCBA design, including the ability to design and fabricate boards or guide contract manufacturing resources.
  • A full understanding of PCB layout techniques to meet mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Experience with Altium Designer or equivalent E-CAD tools for schematic capture and layout.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, and USB, and with common MCU/FPGA devices.
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment including power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, and data acquisition sensors.
  • Familiarity with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems and releasing designs for production.
  • Ability to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Design circuits and schematics for test automation platforms, including FPGA-based data acquisition boards, MCU data interfaces, breakout boards, wiring harnesses, and peripheral modules.
  • Own full-cycle PCB design for test hardware, including collecting requirements, capturing schematics, selecting components, supervising or completing layout, and driving designs through fabrication and assembly.
  • Architect and source circuit board test fixtures, integrating custom designs with internally developed and off-the-shelf data acquisition equipment.
  • Bring up, debug, and characterize circuits across low-speed interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN) and high-speed signals (RF, memory, USB).
  • Apply DFT best practices to new products to enable comprehensive tester design.
  • Work with firmware engineers to enable board support packages for embedded Linux and bring up MCU RTOS platforms.
  • Integrate designs into configuration management systems using proper control and release processes.
  • Continuously improve test automation methods, throughput, user interfaces, and data analytics.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with FPGA PCBA platforms, including RTL, design synthesis, and bare-metal coding.
  • Experience with Python scripting for test configuration and automation.
  • A master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.

About the Company

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.
