Electrical Engineer, Sustainment

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Irvine, CA · AFS : Counter Intrusion Engineering : Sentry Electrical Engineering

Anduril Industries is seeking an Electrical Sustainment Engineer to join their Air and Ground Deterrence (AGD) Division. This role focuses on the end-to-end development of ruggedized electronics for integrated robotic systems, from electrical architecture and design to verification and production. The engineer will be responsible for PCB and electrical system design, ensuring reliability, manufacturability, and testability for defense applications.

What you'd actually do

  1. Take ownership as the main point of contact for electrical integration activities.
  2. Provide hands on and in-field support of prototype and production level product.
  3. Collaborate with mechanical engineers to optimize selection, design and integration of high power components, modules and distribution.
  4. Trade-off component and module selections against size, weight, power and EMC requirements.
  5. Collaborate with design team to achieve reliability goals at a system level in context of concepts of operation.
