As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a mid-to-senior Electrical Engineerto join our team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you will be responsible for end-to-end avionics hardware development supporting advanced hypersonic and high-speed vehicles. You will own critical electrical subsystems from architecture and schematic capture through board bring-up, Design Verification Testing (DVT), and vehicle-level integration.

This role requires a strong grounding in electrical engineering fundamentals, deep experience in power electronics, and a desire to work in a fast-paced hardware development environment where you make real flight hardware move quickly.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline) with 4+ years of hands-on experience in board-level circuit design, analysis, and system integration.
• Strong EE Fundamentals: Demonstrated expertise in analog and digital circuit design, component selection, tolerance analysis, and root-cause troubleshooting.
• Power Electronics Experience: Proven experience designing power systems, DC-DC converters, switching power supplies, voltage regulators, and power management circuits.
• PCB Design Lifecycle: Direct experience designing multi-layer, mixed-signal PCBs (schematic capture, component placement, stackup design, impedance control, grounding, and design for EMC/EMI).
• Hands-on Lab & Test Skills: High competence using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers) for hands-on board bring-up, debugging, and Design Verification Testing (DVT).
• System Interfaces & Bus Architectures: Familiarity with common interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, RS-422/485, UART).
• System Integration: Ability to take a design past the bench and support its integration into larger vehicle electromechanical assemblies and harness interconnects.
• Clearance: Must be a U.S. Person with an active U.S. DoD Secret clearance (or eligibility to rapidly reactivate a clearance held within the last 24 months).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance.
• Experience designing electronics for space, missile, or hypersonic environments (accounting for extreme vibration, thermal vacuum, and radiation-tolerant/rad-hard considerations).
• Experience with ECAD design tools such as Altium Designer.
• Experience designing high-reliability hardware in fast-iterating environments (e.g., new-space, aerospace startups, or fast-paced defense programs).
• Understanding of battery management systems (BMS), high/low voltage power distribution, and actuator/motor drive electronics.
