Descripción de la vacante

Anduril Industries in Costa Mesa, CA is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join the Thunder team. You will own the payload power, data, and control electrical architecture—from the aircraft bus through deployment mechanisms to mission payloads on an autonomous platform.

Responsibilities include wiring, firing circuits and safety interlocks, the SMS/VMS electrical interface, harness routing, GSE, and EMC analysis to mitigate HERO/HERP/HERF risks. Eligible for U.S. Secret clearance.

Formación

• 3–6 years in aerospace or defense electrical engineering with payload experience.
• Firing circuit design — arming/safing logic and safety analysis.
• Payload bus architecture from aircraft bus to payload.
• Aerospace harness design for dynamic environments.
• GSE design for payload integration support.
• EMC analysis for safety-critical circuits (HERO/HERP/HERF).
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret clearance.

Responsabilidades

• Own the payload electrical architecture — design power, data, and control wiring from aircraft bus to payload interfaces.
• Design firing circuits and payload control electronics — arming/safing logic and safety interfaces.
• Define the mission/vehicle management system electrical interface for payload control.
• Design harness routing through deployment mechanisms and ensure continuity.
• Develop ground support equipment for integration and range operations.
• Perform EMC analysis for firing-circuit signals in a hybrid-electric airframe.
• Support lab verification and on-aircraft integration and range testing.
