Requirements

  • At least 5 years of hands-on experience in electronics testing, assembly, and rework in an R&D or production environment.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics, assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and technical datasheets.
  • Proficiency in fine-pitch surface-mount and through-hole soldering to IPC J-STD-001 or equivalent standards, including PCB rework, component replacement, and modification.
  • Experience building and modifying complex cable and wire harness assemblies, including crimping, soldering connector types, and routing to IPC-620 or equivalent standards.

  • Perform precision PCB rework and assembly, including surface-mount and through-hole soldering, component replacement, jumper wire installation under a microscope, conformal coating, and staking operations.
  • Execute test plans by setting up, configuring, and operating benchtop test equipment, including oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, and signal generators, to verify PCB and integrated electronic-system performance.
  • Troubleshoot and diagnose failures in electronic assemblies, including PCBs and harnesses, to component level using schematics, layouts, and wiring diagrams, then perform necessary repairs.
  • Document test data, rework actions, assembly details, and failure modes to support engineering analysis and continuous improvement.
  • Assist in maintaining clean and safe lab conditions, including equipment calibration.

Desired Qualifications

  • Associate degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, or Mechanical Technologies, or a related field.
  • Active IPC-610, IPC-620, and J-STD-001 certifications.

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.
