Propulsion Electronics Engineer (Power & Mixed-Signal)

Anduril Industries; Costa Mesa (CA); Presencial; USD 88.000 - 175.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Anduril Industries in Costa Mesa, CA is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to develop and test cutting edge propulsion electronics for avionics propulsion systems. You will apply controls for flight controllers, power electronics, motor controllers, and actuators as part of a cross-functional team.

This role covers the electrical design from concept to production, with involvement in vendor relations, performance, thermal management, and reliability of propulsion technologies.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or Robotics, with 0–7+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs.
• Solid engineering fundamentals across Analog, Digital, and Power Electronics.
• Deep proficiency with electronic design tools, specifically Altium Designer (or equivalent for schematic and layout) and LTSpice (or equivalent for circuit simulation).
• Competence with laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, spectrum analyzers, function generators, DMMs, electronic loads, power supplies, and test automation.
• Familiarity with standard interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet) and common MCU/CPU architectures.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsabilidades

• Full Cycle PCB Design: Translate system-level propulsion requirements into robust designs. Perform schematic capture and high-density PCB layouts (with a strong preference for Altium), component selection, bring-up, test, debug, and integration with the propulsion system.
• Engine System Electronics: Design and optimize flight controller circuits, power distribution/supplies, motor controller circuits, and electromagnetic actuator circuits.
• Rigorous Analysis: Conduct circuit simulations, worst‑case analysis (WCA), thermal analysis, DFMEA, and component derating to ensure reliability under extreme vibration and temperature environments.
• Comprehensive Testing: Lead board bring‑ups, Design Verification Testing (DVT), qualification (Qual) testing, and functional testing.
• Collaborative Design: Provide electrical support and collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software, test, quality, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams for development.
• Peer Reviews: Conduct peer‑level and cross‑discipline design reviews.
• Root Cause Analysis: Perform root cause and failure analysis in support of engine test and field operations.
