## Description

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

We need a Mechatronics Engineer based in Abu Dhabi to support integration of electromechanical actuation, sensing, and control subsystems that enable Omen's hover-to-cruise transition and to support the integration of Omen sensor and payload modules.

### Responsibilities

- Bridge the mission system team and air vehicle teams, ensuring both teams are in alignment.

- Own payload hardware integration end to end. EO/IR and imaging sensors, RF payloads, gimbals, rangefinders, inertial and position sensing.

- Drive mission system selection through trade studies balancing performance, SWaP, thermal, latency, and environmental robustness.

- Interface with regional customers and partners to align and deliver on end-user requirements.

- Characterize sensors on the bench and in flight: noise, latency, bias and drift, boresight stability, and failure modes.

- Define and own payload interface control; mechanical mounting and alignment, power and signal definitions, harnessing, vehicle bus integration, and time synchronization.

- Write production software and firmware for payload subsystems; drivers, sensor processing, pointing and stabilization control loops, calibration and coordinate frame libraries, health management.

- Support aircraft integration, bring-up, and functional checkout, and plan and execute ground and flight test campaigns for payload performance.

- Lead root-cause investigations for payload and pointing anomalies spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software boundaries.

- Feed lessons learned back into ICDs, calibration procedures, and production assembly and acceptance test documentation.

### Required Qualifications

- Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, Computer Science, or Physics.

- 4+ years of hands-on electromechanical and sensor integration experience in robotics, aerospace, or similar.

- Basic proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C++, Bash or Rust) to automate testing, collect data, or interface with onboard software.

- Proficiency across a meaningful portion of the robotics stack, from sensor interfacing to actuation.

- Solid grasp of low-level communications (Ethernet, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C), real-time systems, and motor control.

- Experience with sensor characterization, calibration, and coordinate frame management; e.g. cameras, IMUs, encoders, GNSS, or LIDAR.

- Experience building and executing hardware test rigs, with competence on oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and test automation.

- Ability to read schematics, support board bring-up, and define harnesses alongside EEs; familiarity with CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent).

- High ownership and a bias toward action.

- Ability to travel 25% with potential surges above 25%.

### Preferred Qualifications

- VTOL, tail-sitter, or rotorcraft experience, and familiarity with the payload environment they create (vibration, EMI, rotor wash).

- 3+ years of Rust (or C++) in a Linux environment, plus tooling in Python; demonstrated experience developing software for hardware.

- Experience with rapid payload/sensor integration onto unmanned platforms, including flight test support.

- Experience with gimbals, stabilized pointing, boresighting, and geo-referencing or targeting chains.

- Experience in perception, localization, mapping, tracking, or guidance, and related system performance metrics.

- Experience troubleshooting remotely deployed software on fielded hardware.

- Familiarity with avionics buses (ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet avionics) and time sync (PTP, PPS).

- Modeling and controls in MATLAB/Simulink; experience building SIL/HIL simulators.

- Environmental qualification testing experience (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461) for electromechanical assemblies.

### Benefits

Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) to support health, recovery, and well-being.
