Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops autonomous systems powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers. Anduril brings cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to military applications.
In this Staff-level role, you will lead the design, testing, and validation of proximity sensors for autonomous vehicles. You will own the complete lifecycle of sensor systems from concept through production, including full-cycle PCB design (requirements, schematic, component selection, layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration). You will develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses connecting electronic equipment. You will provide technical leadership across air vehicle subsystem development, conduct vendor surveys and component sourcing evaluations, lead peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews, and support build-up and testing of engine system components through lab, ground, and flight tests. You will also perform root cause analysis in support of field operations and collaborate across engineering disciplines to meet system constraints.
This is a high-impact role requiring deep expertise in sensor systems, PCB design, and aerospace/defense electronics. You will work on mission-critical systems with significant technical scope and influence across multiple subsystems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- BS/MS or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 10+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs
- Strong background in circuit design, including components and mixed-signal design
- Experience with sensor design, build, test, and integration
- Design experience in UAS, power electronics, converter design, or powertrain
- Competence with test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, current-probes, test automation)
- Familiarity with standard interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, etc.)
- Proficiency with electronic CAD tools (Altium preferred; Eagle and others acceptable)
- Experience in EMI testing
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Environmental testing experience in military and/or commercial industry
- Previous design and testing of height of burst sensors for ordnance fuzing
- Previous design and testing of ordnance fuzing systems
- Experience in UAS, missiles, or maritime programs
- Experience with DoD Weapons Safety Boards
- Experience designing and scaling production of components at volume
- Experience developing or testing complex electrical systems
- Familiarity with MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-882E, MIL-STD-2105
- Experience with JOTP-052 and JOTP-054
- Experience with explosive operations and/or handling munitions
