Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced autonomous systems, AI, and computer vision. The Tactical Effects division (TFX) builds highly capable autonomous drones and delivers them at scale to meet warfighter needs, including products like Ghost, Anvil, and Bolt.
You will lead a technical team of electrical engineers, technicians, and support staff through the full product lifecycle—from concept and R&D/prototype design through flight delivery and transition to production ramp-up. This is both a technical leadership and functional management role.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading technical teams through architecture trades, board design, implementation, troubleshooting, and validation
- Supporting system-level integration, flight test, and customer deliveries
- Troubleshooting issues spanning electrical and software boundaries using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, etc.) and software debugging tools
- Collaborating with electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products
- Maturing product designs for scale with focus on manufacturing optimization and mass production
- Operating in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer-operated hardware
The role combines hands-on technical expertise with people management, requiring someone who can guide teams through complex embedded systems development while maintaining deep technical credibility in electrical engineering.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
- 10+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex embedded systems and products
- Demonstrated experience designing and integrating mixed-signal circuits
- Proficiency with Altium or equivalent ECAD tools
- Competence with test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, current-probes) and test automation
- Experience managing a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, technicians, and support staff
- Experience working on products used in extreme environments (aerospace, defense, etc.)
- U.S. Person status required (access to export-controlled data)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Demonstrated ownership of unit and subsystem-level payloads or products
- Demonstrated technical leadership experience
- Product maturation for scalable solutions in manufacturing environments
- Systems engineering and architectural trade experience with payloads or products
- Proficiency with embedded software and firmware (C/Linux a plus)
- Experience developing for safety-critical environments (human in the loop)
- Knowledge of software protocols for embedded development (timers, interrupts, hardware peripherals such as SPI controllers and ADCs)
