Anduril Anduril · Defense · Santa Ana, CA · Manufacturing : Manufacturing Engineering : Production Test

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company developing advanced systems, including an AI-powered operating system. This Senior Electrical Engineer role focuses on designing and building complex systems and PCBA platforms for manufacturing test automation, ensuring high-quality product delivery. Responsibilities include circuit design, integration, sourcing PCBAs, architecting test fixtures, and debugging various interfaces. The role requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics or related fields, 8+ years of experience, expertise in PCBA design, familiarity with test equipment and PLM systems, and an active U.S. Secret security clearance. Scripting with Python and FPGA familiarity 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).
