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 Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the‑art radar systems, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. The Radar team is seeking a PCB Layout Specialist to transform ambitious concepts into manufacturable reality for the next generation of US radars. The Radar team is responsible for all aspects of radar system development, from the ideation stage through initial production. In this role, you will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to route high‑speed mixed‑signal designs, interact with fabricators and assemblers, and manage signal integrity in complex PCBs.

What You’ll Do

• Work directly with engineers to produce printed circuit board designs supporting Anduril’s products.
• Apply modern design standards and guidelines to create high‑reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies.
• Implement combinations of high‑speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high‑power designs.
• Lead the team in establishing internal guidelines for design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and overall quality fabrication and assembly outputs.
• Develop and refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library/database standards.
• Coordinate external PCB design resources during design surges.
• Work in a fast‑paced environment, having to juggle multiple concurrent projects and customers.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or similar and 5+ years of professional experience in PCB design OR 10+ years of professional experience in PCB design.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices appropriate for each design.
• Expertise in applying relevant IPC standards, CID, CID+ certification.
• Expertise in PCB fabrication processes, limitations, design rules, and best practice.
• Experience using Altium Designer CAD tools (Allegro is a plus).
• Experience with developing component libraries and library management.
• Excellent communication skills with multiple fab houses (ensuring boards are built to print).
• Excellent communication skills with multiple assembly houses (ensuring boards are built to BOM).
• Experience with a variety of board types, including high density and high layer count (greater than 16) digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits.
• Experience with HDI (high density interconnect) and thicker boards (greater than 1.6mm).
• Experience with high speed digital interfaces and controlled impedance routing requirements like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiar with RF board design.
• Experience with high‑pin count packages (FPGA fanout).
• Familiar with basic signal and power integrity rules (how they affect layout).
