## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Manager to lead and scale our rapidly growing AD&S hardware team in Costa Mesa, CA.

In this role, your primary mission is to build, mentor, and guide a world-class team of electrical engineers while driving the operational and technical cadence needed to field critical air platforms.

**Responsibilities**

- Lead, Grow, and Mentor: Directly manage a high-performing team of electrical engineers. Drive career development, conduct performance reviews, recruit top-tier hardware talent, and foster an engineering culture of extreme ownership, speed, and technical excellence.

- Drive Execution & Delivery: Partner with Program Managers, Chief Engineers, and vehicle line leads to balance resource allocation, scope, budget, and schedule across multiple concurrent aircraft programs.

- Establish Engineering Rigor & Process: Define and mature standard operating procedures for the entire hardware lifecycle, from schematic capture and board bring-up to Design Verification (DVT), qualification (QTP), and flight clearance.

- Provide Technical Oversight: Serve as the senior technical authority for avionics hardware. Lead design reviews, ensure cross-subsystem compatibility, and maintain standards for reliability, fault tolerance, and manufacturability without getting bogged down in day-to-day layout.

- Unblock & Enable Cross-Functional Velocity: Act as the primary interface between your team and adjacent disciplines, including Flight Software, Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC), Mechanical/Thermal, Systems Engineering, and Integration & Test.

- Vendor & Supply Chain Strategy: Oversee strategic relationships with board fabrication, assembly, and component vendors, ensuring manufacturing readiness, cost efficiency, and risk mitigation against supply-chain volatility.

**Required Qualifications**

- Demonstrated Leadership: 4+ years of formal people-management or proven technical team leadership experience, with a track record of hiring, coaching, and scaling engineering talent.

- Technical Foundation: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline) with 7+ years of industry experience in hardware development, ideally within aerospace, defense, automotive, or high-reliability robotics.

- Program & Execution Acumen: Proven ability to manage competing priorities, allocate headcount, interface with executive stakeholders, and deliver complex hardware milestones on compressed timelines.

- Architecture-Level Fluency: Deep enough technical grounding to guide reviews across modern analog/digital circuits, power architectures, high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, CAN), and processing systems (MCUs, FPGAs, CPUs).

- Process Leadership: Experience defining or evolving hardware test frameworks, qualification standards, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) best practices.

- Security Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Experience managing engineering teams in a rapid-prototyping, fast-paced startup or defense-tech environment.

- Prior experience navigating military and aviation compliance frameworks (e.g., DO-254, DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461).

- Experience managing harness/interconnect engineering and system-level vehicle integration.

- Active U.S. Secret or Top Secret security clearance.

- Experience with RCC-319 and Flight Termination System

**Benefits** Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) that ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
