Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI‑powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. 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 TEAM

The Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team is on a mission to build next generation solid rocket motors for a safer, more connected world. To achieve our vision of becoming a large‑volume provider of tactical rocket motors, we will develop differentiated products and services that maximize our customers’ capabilities, and we will establish and maintain a reputation of Quality and Reliability.

ABOUT THE JOB

As the Electrical Engineer, you will specify, design, develop and install devices used to collect data on solid rocket motor burn performance. Additionally, you will design custom electronic solutions—including PCBs, firmware, and FPGA code—needed to manufacture and test solid rocket motors, which will include working with integrated safety‑critical designs. This position also requires the ability to configure data collection systems and develop software applications used to collect the data. It is expected that you may oversee technicians during the instrumentation installation and during rocket motor testing/development. The right person for this role has direct, hands‑on experience with the design, development, and installation of sensors used to collect a variety of metrics related to testing of solid rocket motors. If you are a hands‑on leader, have an entrepreneurial spirit, and enjoy being the point person for collecting valuable performance data, then this role is for you. You will also design other electronics solution include PCB, firmware and FPGA code needed to manufacturer and test solid rocket motors which will include working with integrated safety designs used to initiate the motor.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Analyzes current equipment; identifies areas of inefficiency and needs for improvement; designs and develops instrumentation to meet those needs.
• Collaborates with other engineers to develop accurate, efficient equipment and instrumentation in accordance with safety and usability standards and client expectations.
• Designs and tests prototypes of equipment including
• Design and execution of PCBA and electrical system components with hands on testing and rework as necessary
• Creates basic schematics and simulated models to test designs; modifies designs to meet specifications and budget requirements.
• Oversees the implementation of new measuring devices and control systems, ensuring devices are correctly installed and properly tested.
• Acts as project engineer for design, prototype fabrication, and manufacturing development.
• Develops need cable drawings to interface to various low voltage interfaces
• Drafts and presents formal technical documents, reports, and testing results to manager for approval.
• Provides training related to devices to employees and/or customers.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• A minimum of 8 years’ experience with the design, development, and installation of sensors employed to collect data on system performance.
• NI Labview or NI DAQmx experience or familiar with other COTS data acquisition systems.
