## Description

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

As a System Architect on the Anduril Imaging team, you will own the electronics architecture for space-bound imaging payloads and drive their design from concept through flight.

## Responsibilities

- Own the electrical architecture for imaging payloads, partitioning the system, defining power, sensor, data, and interface electronics, and driving the architectural tradeoffs that enable a rapid path to orbit.

- Lead the design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs spanning analog, mixed-signal, FPGAs, and power electronics for EO/IR sensor systems.

- Translate sensor and system performance models into electrical requirements, and push back on requirements that don't earn their place on the critical path.

- Drive rapid design-build-test cycles: prototype quickly, characterize on the bench, iterate on real hardware, and converge on flight-ready designs without unnecessary cycles.

- Design for the space environment and own the analysis and testing that proves it.

- Bake in design for manufacturability and assembly from the first schematic so designs scale cleanly toward low-rate production as programs mature.

- Lead board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting in the lab and during environmental and integration testing.

- Partner closely with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams to drive integration and close out anomalies fast.

- Mentor and provide technical guidance to other electrical engineers, and serve as a design-review and decision-making anchor for the electronics scope.

- Document architectures, designs, analyses, and test results to a standard that supports flight readiness and program reviews.

## Required Qualifications

- 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering spanning system-level architecture, electronics design, and hands-on test, with a track record of owning designs end to end.

- A degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.

- Demonstrated ownership of electronics architecture for a complex electromechanical or sensor system, including the tradeoff decisions that shaped it.

- Strong analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design experience, with deep schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency.

- Proven ability to take hardware from architecture through bring-up, integration, and qualification , including hands-on debug in the lab.

- Experience delivering hardware on aggressive timelines and working in rapid, iterative design cycles.

- Excellent engineering judgment, problem-solving, and the ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure.

- Ability to collaborate effectively across a multidisciplinary engineering team.

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