  • Participate in design reviews, identify issues, and help drive design choices.
  • Prepare harness assembly instructions and test procedures using knowledge of industry standards and best practices.
  • Guide the electrical team in identifying electrical system requirements based on input from internal and external stakeholders, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineering; product management; quality; and compliance.
  • Support new developments, active deployments, and customer-operated hardware in a fast-paced environment.
  • Manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages concurrently.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience building 3D routed harness data files using NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness.
  • Experience or proficiency in 3D CAD wire harness routing, such as NX, Siemens Capital, CATIA, or Creo.

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.
