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: power, sensor, and interface electronics for electro-optical and infrared imaging systems. Responsibilities include architecting PCBAs spanning analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics; translating sensor performance models into electrical requirements; and designing for the space environment (radiation, thermal extremes, vacuum, vibration, launch loads). You will lead design-build-test cycles, prototype quickly, characterize on the bench, and iterate on real hardware to converge on flight-ready designs.
Key activities include PCB layout and bring-up, environmental testing (TVAC, vibration, EMI/EMC), design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), board integration and troubleshooting in the lab, and cross-functional partnership with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams. You will mentor junior electrical engineers, serve as a design-review anchor, and document 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 a track record of owning designs end-to-end. You must hold a degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, demonstrate ownership of electronics architecture for complex electromechanical or sensor systems, and possess strong proficiency in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design, schematic capture, and PCB layout. Experience with space systems, radiation-hardened components, and rapid prototyping is highly valued.
