About the Job

Requirements

  • Pursue a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Return to school at the end of the internship to continue academic studies for at least one quarter or semester.
  • Be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities; U.S. clearance eligibility may be required depending on program.
  • Be able to complete an in-person 16–24 week internship in one of the company's offices in winter 2027.

Responsibilities

  • Provide engineering expertise to design, fabricate, and integrate harness systems, representing the harness discipline on a project.
  • Investigate, plan, design, and develop harnesses to meet technical requirements.
  • Research, select, and procure connectors, back-shells, contacts, wire, shielding, and cable construction appropriate to product environmental requirements.
  • Develop harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams for production release.
  • Participate in design reviews, identify issues, and inform design choices.
  • Prepare harness assembly instructions and test procedures using 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.
  • Work directly with harness manufacturers to deliver high-quality, high-reliability products.
  • Own the electrical wiring and interconnect system end to end, including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity.
  • Ensure the design meets system-level electrical requirements for voltage, current, bandwidth, redundancy, and electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection, and topology.
  • Analyze and mitigate electrical risks such as voltage drop, crosstalk, electromagnetic interference susceptibility, and thermal effects.
  • Apply knowledge of size, weight, and power for power, network, and communications systems and designs.
  • Deliver a working script and a short technical note on protocol behavior and edge cases.

Desired Qualifications

  • Build 3D-routed harness data files using NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness.
  • Have experience with or proficiency in 3D computer-aided design wire-harness routing using Siemens NX.
  • Read and generate 2D computer-aided design formboard drawings for production using Siemens Capital.
  • Be familiar with common electrical bus interfaces, including CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, and 1553.
  • Be familiar with applicable harness standards and MIL-STD requirements.
  • Have experience reading wire block interconnect diagrams and wire diagrams.
  • Be familiar with aircraft avionics module vendors and avionics component suppliers.
  • Be familiar with electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility principles.

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.
