The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. As a Staff Electrical Engineer 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 (COTS vs. rad-hard, performance vs. schedule vs. cost) that enable a sub-12-month path to orbit. - Lead the design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs spanning analog, digital, mixed-signal, 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 (radiation, thermal extremes, vacuum, vibration, and launch loads) and own the analysis and testing (TVAC, vibe, EMI/EMC) that proves it. - Bake in design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) 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, using standard bench equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, DMMs, etc.). - 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 - 12+ 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. ## Preferred Qualifications - Direct experience designing electronics for space, especially New Space / commercial-cadence programs that flew hardware in a year or less. - Familiarity with the space environment and qualification: radiation effects (TID/SEE), rad-hard and rad-tolerant part selection, COTS-for-space approaches, TVAC, vibration, and EMI/EMC. - Experience with EO/IR, RF, optical, or other sensor and communication systems. - Experience designing for manufacturability and assembly, and transitioning proven designs toward low-rate production to make them more robust and lower cost. - Familiarity with analytical tools and programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, or C++. - Understanding of system integration processes and workflows in aerospace or defense environments. - Experience mentoring engineers and leading design reviews. ## 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. ## Skills ### Required - Electrical Engineering - System-level architecture - Electronics design - Hands-on test - Analog electronics - Digital electronics - Mixed-signal electronics - Power electronics - PCB layout - Schematic capture - Design for manufacturability - Assembly - Space environment qualification ### Nice to have - Space electronics design - New Space / commercial-cadence programs - Radiation effects - Rad-hard and rad-tolerant part selection - COTS-for-space approaches - TVAC - Vibration - EMI/EMC - EO/IR sensor systems - RF - Optical - Communication systems - MATLAB - Python - C++ --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/andurilindustries/jobs/5184782007?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
