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 Intelligence Systems team is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and deliver exquisite capability across their problem set. We aim to develop and deploy critically needed capabilities that address our customers’ most pressing national security requirements.

ABOUT THE JOB

As an Electrical Engineer in the Manufacturing organization you will design and build complex systems and PCBA platforms to test our products. Data acquisition and physical layer interfaces using FPGA, MCU, and off-the-shelf equipment will enable testing our systems to stringent standards ensuring that we are consistently shipping the highest quality products to our customers. You will work in a multi-disciplinary design team, managing requirements, capturing custom circuits, and designing complex assemblies and harnesses. You will work with firmware engineers to enable board support packages for embedded Linux, and bring up MCU RTOS platforms. In this role you’ll need to think creatively and come up with solutions to solve difficult testing problems and push to continuously improve our methods of automation, throughput, user interfaces, and data analytics.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Build things that test things. Design Circuits and Schematics that will be built into test automation platforms.
• Integrate your designs into Anduril’s PDM systems. You will follow the same process for component design and release that our product design teams use.
• Design and source PCB Assemblies with varying complexity - from FPGA based data acquisition boards, to MCU platform data interfaces, breakout boards, wiring harnesses, or peripheral modules.
• Architect and source circuit board test fixtures, integrating your designs with internally developed and off-the-shelf data acquisition equipment.
• Build internal library for test circuit for data acquisition, leverage your expertise for DFM / DFT.
• Bring up, Debug, and Characterize circuits, low speed interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.) and high speed signals (RF, memory, USB).

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience with emphasis on product designs that have gone to manufacturing.
• Experience with Professional Electronics Design packages (Altium, Cadence, PADs, etc.) for schematic capture and layout.
• Expertise in PCBA Design. Ability to design and fabricate your own designs, or guide contract manufacturing resources.
