The opportunity

The Hardware Platform Organization is Anduril's central hardware engineering org. We build the shared technologies, tools, and infrastructure that power hardware development across every Anduril division, from actuators and propulsion to batteries, avionics, rocket motors, and test operations.

What you'll do

  • Lead full-cycle PCB design for high-reliability defense hardware: from requirements capture and schematic design through component selection, layout (Altium preferred), bring-up, test, debug, and system integration

  • Design and optimize circuits for safety-critical aerospace and defense: applications, including power electronics, motor/actuator drivers, digital control systems, fuzing circuitry, or vehicle interconnect — depending on program focus

  • Conduct rigorous design analysis including worst-case analysis (WCA), thermal: analysis, DFMEA, component derating, and signal/power integrity analysis to ensure reliability across extreme vibration and temperature environments

  • Execute board bring-ups and lead Design Verification Testing (DVT),: qualification testing, and functional testing through ground and flight test

  • Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses for integration within the vehicle

  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software, systems, quality, and: manufacturing teams across the full development lifecycle

What they're looking for

  • Active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance, or DOE L/Q
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
  • + years of experience in defense, aerospace, UAS, missile, or maritime hardware development
  • Experience with propulsion electronics: motor controllers, power distribution/conversion, flight controller circuits, or electromagnetic actuators
  • Experience with fuzing, ordnance, or other safety-critical weapon systems electronics
  • Familiarity with MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-882E, MIL-STD-2105, or DoD Weapons Safety Board processes
  • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for control loop modeling or system simulation
  • Familiarity with avionics design standards: DO-254, DO-178C, DO-160
