Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Electrical Systems Engineer to own the electronics architecture for space-bound imaging payloads. This is a system-level role where you will define electrical architecture, make critical build-versus-buy and COTS-versus-rad-hard tradeoffs, and drive designs from concept through flight qualification in rapid 12-month cycles.
You will own the full electronics scope for EO/IR imaging systems, including power, sensor, data, and interface electronics. Responsibilities include leading PCB design and layout across analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power domains; translating sensor performance models into electrical requirements; designing for the space environment (radiation, thermal extremes, vacuum, vibration, launch loads); and owning environmental testing (TVAC, vibration, EMI/EMC). You will drive rapid design-build-test cycles, prototype quickly, characterize on the bench, and iterate on real hardware to converge on flight-ready designs.
Additional responsibilities include designing for manufacturability and assembly from the first schematic; leading board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting in the lab and during environmental testing; partnering with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams; mentoring junior electrical engineers; and documenting architectures and test results to flight-readiness standards.
Required: 8+ years of electrical engineering experience spanning system-level architecture, electronics design, and hands-on test with end-to-end design ownership. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent. Demonstrated ownership of electronics architecture for complex electromechanical or sensor systems. Strong proficiency in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design, schematic capture, and PCB layout. Experience with space systems, radiation-hardened components, and environmental qualification is highly valued.
