Anduril Industries is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join the Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) Electrical Engineering Team in Costa Mesa, CA. This role focuses on developing high-reliability avionics, embedded processing, and power systems for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms. You will work across hardware, software, and mission autonomy to deliver flight-critical electronics, PCB assemblies, and FPGA-based processing architectures for autonomous air platforms operating in complex and contested environments.
Key responsibilities include full-cycle PCB design from requirements collection through schematic design, component selection, layout supervision, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration. You will conduct microcontroller bring-up and design work, troubleshoot issues spanning electrical and software boundaries using lab equipment and debugging tools, and perform power design including development and integration of power management systems. Additional responsibilities include developing payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, networking), creating system interconnect diagrams, defining wire harnesses, and collaborating with electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers on design reviews.
Required qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex systems. You must demonstrate high competence with lab test equipment (power supplies, oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers), familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB), and hands-on experience with microcontrollers. Strong knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics, mixed-signal PCB design with multiple layer counts, impedance matching, grounding approaches, and low/high voltage power electronics is essential. Exceptional organization and communication skills are required, along with eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include experience with high-end consumer or military embedded systems, power systems including batteries and AC power, low-level firmware development for bring-up and test, and background in defense and missile systems.
