Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking a Staff Mission Systems Engineer to join the Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) team. The role focuses on integration and packaging of electronics assemblies at both module and platform levels for advanced military systems powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system for real-time command and control.
You will own the design, integration, and qualification of RF/microwave/mmWave electronic assemblies for defense applications. This includes thermal management for high-power semiconductor devices (GaN, GaAs), microelectronic assembly processes (die attach, wirebond, flip-chip, hermetic sealing), and validation against military and aerospace environmental standards. You will work across the full lifecycle from concept through production qualification, leveraging mechanical CAD, thermal/structural simulation, and 3D EM tools.
The role requires deep expertise in RF behavior, not just mechanical implementation, and hands-on experience with inspection and screening methods that gate assembly processes. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring cutting-edge autonomy, AI, and sensor fusion technology to military systems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 12+ years of RF, microwave, or mmWave packaging and integration experience (or 10+ years with an advanced degree), including multiple programs from concept through qualification and production
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or equivalent demonstrated experience
- Demonstrated ownership of thermal management for high-power semiconductor devices (GaN, GaAs, or comparable), including junction-temperature analysis, interface material selection, and validated correlation between thermal models and measured hardware
- Hands-on experience with microelectronic assembly processes: die attach, wirebond or flip-chip, hermetic sealing, and inspection/screening methods
- Working fluency in RF behavior, not just mechanical implementation
- Experience designing to military or aerospace environmental standards with direct involvement in qualification campaigns
- Proficiency with mechanical CAD and thermal/structural simulation; comfort with 3D EM tools to interrogate models
- Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance; U.S. Person status required for ITAR-controlled work
