Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
The Space Imaging team is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join the team. The Space Imaging team is responsible for all aspects of spaceborne EO/IR system development, from the ideation stage through initial production.
In this role, you will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to define the electrical architecture of space-qualified EO/IR sensor payloads , including power distribution, connector/harness interfaces, EMI/EMC protection, and high-speed communication interfaces , build and test prototypes, and mature designs into flight hardware products.
Responsibilities
- Electrical Architecture: Define and own the electrical architecture for EO/IR sensor payload assemblies, including power distribution, connector/harness interfaces, grounding/bonding schemes, and communication interfaces.
- Power Electronics Design: Design, analyze, and test isolated power conversion, EMI filtering, inrush current limiting, and over-voltage/reverse-polarity protection circuitry for low-voltage DC payload power systems.
- Interface & Harness Design: Select connectors, define pin assignments, perform wire/cable and component derating analyses, and establish shielding, bonding, and isolation schemes to meet EMI/EMC requirements.
- Communication Interfaces: Design and support high-speed Ethernet (10GbE) and discrete I/O (RS-422, I2C, SPI) interfaces between sensor electronics and host avionics.
- EMC/ESD: Support EMI/EMC qualification testing (MIL-STD-461/464), and ESD protection design.
- Radiation Compliance: Radiation-tolerant (TID/SEU) component selection for space and tactical environments.
- Parts Stress & Reliability Analysis: Perform EEE parts stress/derating analyses and support hybrid microelectronics selection to ensure reliable operation across mission life.
- Hardware/Software Integration: Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, optical, and systems engineers to integrate electrical designs into sensor payload assemblies, including bring-up and verification testing.
- Testing and Validation: Develop and execute test procedures using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, network analyzers, EMI test gear) to validate designs against functional and performance requirements.
