## Description

Anduril is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with strong PCBA design experience to join the Maritime team at our Costa Mesa HQ, supporting the Dive XL extra-large unmanned underwater vehicle (XLUUV).

You will own electronics that live at the seam between software, electrical, and mechanical subsystems , designing, bringing up, and troubleshooting boards that control vehicle payloads, sensors, actuators, and mission-critical subsystems in a pressurized subsea environment.

The role requires high ownership, hands-on instincts, and frequent collaboration with software, systems, mechanical, and test engineers. High growth potential and additional leadership opportunities are available as the program scales.

### Responsibilities

- Design PCBAs end-to-end: requirements capture, schematic design, layout review, fabrication, assembly, bringup, and qualifications

- Troubleshoot boards at the bench and in integrated vehicle configurations , isolate failures across electrical, firmware, and mechanical boundaries

- Serve as the technical bridge between software, electrical, and mechanical disciplines , translate subsystem needs into electronics requirements and vice versa

- Design and integrate electro-mechanical subsystems including motor drives, sensors, actuators, and power distribution for subsea operation

- Perform trade studies and physics-based analysis for board architecture, component selection, and thermal/power budgets

- Identify and manage relationships with PCBA fabrication, assembly, and component vendors

- Lead design reviews, define and execute hardware test plans, and transition designs from prototype into production

- Support vehicle integration, at-sea test events, and customer demonstrations as needed

- Travel to test sites, fabrication vendors, and integration facilities as needed

- Use first principles physics as the basis for every decision

### Required Qualifications

- 5+ years of electrical / PCBA design experience in a professional setting

- Proficiency in ECAD tools (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent) , schematic capture through layout

- Experience taking PCBAs from concept through bringup, including bare-metal microcontroller design (STMicro, TI, NXP, or similar)

- Familiarity with microcontrollers, power conversion, and system integration

- Ability to read, interpret, and manipulate schematics, wiring diagrams, and PCB layouts

- Experience debugging at both schematic and board level using oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and multimeters

- Demonstrated leadership on a complex technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings)

- Strong organizational skills and the ability to drive work independently across disciplinary boundaries

- High competence with, and fluid use of, engineering first principles

- BS in an engineering field, or equivalent work experience

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

### Preferred Qualifications

- MS in an engineering field

- Active U.S. Top Secret security clearance

- Experience designing electronics for rugged, marine, or pressure-sealed environments

- Experience in FPGA design and development

- MCAD experience (NX) and comfort collaborating on enclosure, connector, and harness design

- Hands-on prototyping (soldering, rework, board assembly, harnessing)

- Experience bringing up device trees on embedded Linux systems with a variety of connected sensors

- Experience characterizing circuits at both schematic and board level

- Experience with microcontroller wired communication protocols (USB, MIPI CSI2, SPI, I2C, CAN/CANFD, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485)

- Experience with motor and servo drive design (BLDC / brushed motor controllers, servo control systems)

- Familiarity with wireless and subsea communication protocols (acoustic modems, RF, Ethernet)

- Experience bridging firmware and electrical work-streams , writing or reviewing low-level drivers, bringup scripts, or HIL test infrastructure

- Experience developing complex electronics hardware products (UUVs, UAVs, robotics, propulsion systems, or other complex mechatronic platforms)

### Benefits

- Competitive salary: $146,000-$194,000 USD per year

- Highly competitive equity grants

- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package
