Senior Electrical Engineer

Anduril’s Air and Ground Deterrence (AGD) Division develops integrated robotic systems designed to provide multi-domain situational awareness and force protection across land, sea, and air. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly detect and identify potential threats. close the kill chain against a broad range of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats.
Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the multidisciplinary Sentry Hardware team with AGD serves as the key system integrator of the Anduril Sentry Family of Systems (FoS). In particular, the Sentry Electrical Engineering Team drives end-to-end development, from electrical architecture and ruggedized hardware design to verification, integration, and test, ensuring scalable, production and mission-ready solutions that meet the performance, reliability, and survivability demands of the U.S. Military and other key stakeholders.

The Sentry Engineering team builds hardware products and systems that leverage artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. With an AI-enabled edge processing, continuous 360 pan / tilt capability, and a variety of radars and sensors, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect, and track objects of interest to bring increased awareness to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports and other critical infrastructure.
We are looking for a Sr Electrical Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA. This role will own rapidly developed, ruggedized electronics design in addition to scaling legacy design concepts to support full-rate production. In this role, you will partner with our Architecture and Product Management team to help drive system requirements prior to owning full PCB and/or electrical system design. This will require identifying high risk areas, creating and validating electronics designs for embedded compute and/or power systems, and testing for long term-reliability while considering manufacturability and testability in the design.
If you are someone who enjoys designing mission-critical electrical circuit cards and integrated systems with the freedom to drive product development from often undefined requirements then this role is for you.

• Serve as the main point of contact for electrical integration activities.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to optimize selection, design and integration of high power components, modules and distribution.
• Trade-off component and module selections against size, weight and power requirements.
• Collaborate with design team to achieve reliability goals at a system level in context of concepts of operation.

• Ability to design digital & analog electronics from concept to functional prototype.
• Ability to troubleshoot existing hardware to find root cause of issues and implement improvements to improve the design
• Develop clear documentation to capture design requirements, specifications, test coverage, and test reports.
• Complete full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug and integration with the system.
• Work closely with other mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products.
• Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware.
• Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• 2+ years of experience designing, testing and troubleshooting complex board designs and products.
• Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, current-probes, and automation of tests.
• Familiarity with switch mode power supply design and testing.
• Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.
• Familiarity with common MCU, CPU, FPGA devices and technologies.
• Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.
• Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
• Proficient with Altium Designer or equivalent electronic design automation design tools.
• Proficiency with scripting languages (Python, Matlab, etc.)
