Senior Mission Systems Engineer, RF & Electronics Packaging

Anduril; Costa Mesa (CA); On-site; USD 166,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a Mission Systems Engineer for its AD&S team to join with a strong background in integration and packaging of electronics assemblies at both the module and platform levels.

The role requires extensive RF packaging experience, thermal management ownership for high‑power devices, and hands‑on microelectronic assembly skills, with work directed toward military/aerospace environmental standards and qualification campaigns.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of RF, microwave, or mmWave packaging and integration experience, or 8+ with an advanced degree, including multiple programs carried from concept through qualification and production
• BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Demonstrated ownership of thermal management for high‑power semiconductor devices — GaN, GaAs, or comparable — including junction‑temperature analysis, interface material selection, and validated correlation between thermal models and measured hardware
• Hands‑on experience with microelectronic assembly processes: die attach, wirebond or flip‑chip, hermetic sealing, and the inspection and screening methods that gate them
• Working fluency in RF behavior, not just mechanical implementation
• Experience designing to military or aerospace environmental standards with direct involvement in qualification campaigns
• Proficiency with mechanical CAD and thermal/structural simulation, and enough comfort with 3D EM tools to interrogate someone else’s model
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance; U.S. Person status required for ITAR‑controlled work.

Responsibilities

• Integration and packaging of electronics assemblies both at the module and platform level
