Space Electronics Architect — Lead Fast-Track Payloads to Orbit

Anduril-1; Boulder (CO); On-site; USD 126,000 - 167,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking an Electronics Designer to own the electronics architecture for space-bound imaging payloads. You will define the electrical architecture, perform build-versus-buy decisions, and lay out, bring up, and qualify hardware to enable a rapid path to orbit.

You will lead PCBAs across analog, mixed-signal, FPGAs, and power electronics for EO/IR sensor systems, while mentoring others and ensuring manufacturability for scale.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ownership of electronics architecture for a complex system.
• Strong analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the electrical architecture for imaging payloads and drive tradeoffs for rapid orbit deployment.
• Lead design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs for EO/IR sensor systems.
• Translate sensor/system models into electrical requirements and push back on non-critical requirements.
• Drive rapid design-build-test cycles; prototype quickly and iterate on real hardware for flight readiness.
• Design for space environment: radiation, thermal extremes, vacuum, vibration, and launch loads; perform TVAC, vibe, EMI/EMC tests.
• Bake in design for manufacturability and assembly from first schematic; scale to low-rate production.
• Lead board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting in lab and during environmental tests.
• Collaborate with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams to drive integration and resolve anomalies.
• Mentor engineers and participate in design reviews; document architectures and test results for flight readiness.
