Requirements

  • A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or equivalent is required.
  • At least 6 years of experience is required.
  • Experience with RF cascade analyses, component selection, and component evaluations is required.
  • Experience with RF front-end circuit designs, such as receivers, transmitters, gain control, and power control, is required.
  • Experience and expertise with off-the-shelf discrete RF components, including low-noise amplifiers, filters, mixers, phase-locked loops or synthesizers, oscillators, general-purpose amplifiers, variable attenuators, switches, power detectors, and limiters, is required.
  • Experience with schematic capture and guiding PCB layout is required.
  • Experience with board bring-up, testing, and optimization is required.

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.
