Recent graduates may apply if they have a technical internship or standout leadership experience from an engineering club such as FSAE/EV, UAVs, robotics, or avionics.
  • Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, and current probes, and with test automation.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, and PCIe.
  • Familiarity with common MCU, CPU, and FPGA devices and technologies.
  • Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.
  • Comfort with electronic CAD tools; Altium is preferred, and Eagle or other tools are acceptable.
  • Experience in design for signal integrity and power integrity.
  • Test experience including data acquisition, data analysis, and project coordination.
  • Ability to travel as required for testing, with surges up to 25%.
  • Passion for defending the United States and its allies.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Complete the full PCB design cycle, including gathering requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervising or completing layout, bring-up, testing, debugging, and system integration.
  • Develop fuzing circuitry for missile systems.
  • Collaborate with vehicle development teams to design, document, and produce tailored fuzing systems and effectors.
  • Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses connecting electronic equipment within the vehicle.
  • Support and collaborate within other air-vehicle subsystem development constraints.
  • Conduct vendor surveys and evaluations to support sourcing system components.
  • Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.
  • Build and test system components through laboratory, ground, and flight tests.
  • Develop low-level firmware for bring-up and testing.
  • Perform root-cause analysis in support of field operations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Five to ten years of work experience as an individual-contributor engineer focused on electrical design, analysis, and testing of fuzing and/or ordnance systems.
  • Understanding of DO-254, DO-178C, DO-160, and relevant avionics design standards for UAS.
  • Familiarity with electrical component suppliers.
  • Experience in UAS, missile, or maritime programs.
  • Experience with DoD Weapons Safety Boards.
  • Experience designing components and scaling their production at volume.
  • Experience developing or testing complex electrical systems.
  • Experience with MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-882E, and MIL-STD-2105.
  • Experience with JOTP-052 and JOTP-054.

  • An active U.S. security clearance (DoD Secret, Top Secret, or DOE L or Q).

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.
