Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in aerospace, defense, electronics manufacturing, or another high-reliability industry.
  • Hands-on electronic assembly experience, including PCBA rework, cable and harness fabrication, and connector termination.
  • Electrical troubleshooting skills and familiarity with data acquisition devices and software.
  • Mechanical assembly and troubleshooting ability, including fastener and torque control and enclosure-level integration.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and bills of material.
  • Computer skills necessary to test, document, and update digital systems, including MES and ERP transactions.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.

  • Design and build tooling and fixtures for assembly, handling, and testing.
  • Use precision measuring instruments and electrical and RF test equipment to ensure components meet specifications.
  • Lead new product introduction and prototype builds, feeding manufacturability and work-instruction issues back to engineering.
  • Train other technicians and support the transition of new configurations into production.
  • Investigate and resolve nonconformances, providing feedback for continuous improvement.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with RF or microwave assembly and test, including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and VSWR or insertion loss measurement.
  • IPC certification (CIS or CIT) in IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, or IPC/WHMA-A-620.
  • Experience authoring work instructions and routings in an MES and supporting engineering change implementation.
  • New product introduction or first-article build experience.
  • Design and build of electrical and mechanical systems, including tooling and fixture design in CAD.
  • Background in EW, radar, SIGINT, communications, or other RF payload hardware.

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.
