Senior Electrical Engneer

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Hardware Engineering : Hardware Engineering Services : Electrical Engineering Design

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company developing advanced systems, including an AI-powered operating system called Lattice OS. This role focuses on the full cycle of PCB design, including schematic design, component selection, layout supervision, bring-up, test, and debug for defense systems. The engineer will also design and verify power systems, analyze signal/power integrity, and collaborate with vehicle development teams.

What you'd actually do

  1. Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug and integration with the system.
  2. Design and verification of isolated DC/DC converters and other SMPS.
  3. Analysis of power domain for high-speed data lines (SI/PI).
  4. Simulate, model, and test energetic dispersion topologies.
  5. Closely collaborate with vehicle development teams to design, document, and produce tailored fuzing systems and effectors.
