Senior Electrical Engineer, Manufacturing Test

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Manufacturing : Manufacturing Engineering : Production Test

This role is for a Senior Electrical Engineer focused on designing and building test systems and PCBA platforms for defense technology products. The engineer will work with FPGAs, MCUs, and data acquisition equipment to ensure products meet stringent testing standards. Responsibilities include circuit design, sourcing PCBAs, architecting test fixtures, and debugging circuits. Experience with electronics design packages, test equipment, and PLM systems is required. Scripting with Python and familiarity with FPGAs are preferred.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build things that test things. Design Circuits and Schematics that will be built into test automation platforms.
  2. Integrate your designs into Anduril’s PDM systems. You will follow the same process for component design and release that our product design teams use.
  3. Design and source PCB Assemblies with varying complexity - from FPGA based data acquisition boards, to MCU platform data interfaces, breakout boards, wiring harnesses, or peripheral modules.
  4. Architect and source circuit board test fixtures, integrating your designs with internally developed and off-the-shelf data acquisition equipment.
  5. Build internal library for test circuit for data acquisition, leverage your expertise for DFM / DFT.
  6. Bring up, Debug, and Characterize circuits, low speed interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.) and high speed signals (RF, memory, USB).

Skills

Required
