Electrical Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. The company is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

The Air and Ground Deterrence (AGD) Division develops integrated robotic systems designed to provide multi-domain situational awareness and force protection across land, sea, and air. The Sentry Hardware team with AGD serves as the key system integrator of the Anduril Sentry Family of Systems (FoS).

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA. This role will own rapidly developed, ruggedized electronics design in addition to scaling legacy design concepts to support full-rate production. In this role, you will partner with our Architecture and Product Management team to help drive system requirements prior to owning full PCB and/or electrical system design.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take ownership as the main point of contact for electrical integration activities.
• Provide hands-on and in-field support of prototype and production-level product.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to optimize selection, design, and integration of high-power components, modules, and distribution.
• Trade-off component and module selections against size, weight, power, and EMC requirements.
• Collaborate with design team to achieve reliability goals at a system level in context of concepts of operation.

Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years of professional experience.
• Self-starter with the ability to design digital & analog electronics from concept and functional prototype, to production-ready product.
• Ability to troubleshoot existing hardware to find root cause of issues and implement improvements to improve the design.
• Develop clear documentation to capture design requirements, specifications, test coverage, and test reports.
• Complete full-cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, validation, characterization, and integration with the system.
• Work closely with other mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products.
• Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer-operated hardware.
• Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs and products.
• Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, current-probes, and automation of tests.
• Familiarity with switch-mode power supply design and testing.
• Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.
• Familiarity with common MCU, CPU, FPGA devices and technologies.
• Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.
• Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
• Proficient with Altium Designer or equivalent electronic design automation design tools.
• Proficiency with scripting languages (Python, Matlab, etc.).
• Ability to root-cause full-stack HLOS application to hardware component-level issues.
