The opportunity

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

  • PCBA Design for Manufacturability & Assembly (DFM / DFA): Partner directly with Electrical Hardware Design Engineers during schematic capture and layout to optimize complex multilayer rigid and rigid-flex boards for automated SMT production.

  • Review board layouts in Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics: to verify pad geometries, solder mask dams, trace clearances, via-in-pad plating, and component spacing to maximize assembly yields.

  • Review component footprint, connector section, and active IC packages to: ensure manufacturability and functionality with production processes.

  • Production Test Strategy & Process Definition: Ensure the manufacturing test strategy across board and sub-assembly levels are executable. In-Circuit Testing (ICT bed-of-nails), flying probe, boundary scan (JTAG), and connectorized functional verification tests (FVT). Establish test limits, pass/fail criteria, and fault-coverage metrics to hand off to the Manufacturing Test Engineering team.

  • Design for Testability (DFT): Partner with Electrical Design Engineers during schematic capture and layout to drive strict DFT guidelines—ensuring adequate test point density, probe access, net observability, and connector accessibility required for production test fixtures.

  • Test Sequence & Process Integration: Define standard test processes, routing sequences, and flashing/calibration workflows for the factory floor. Work closely with the Manufacturing Test Engineering team to ensure their automated test fixtures, instrumentation racks, and software suites integrate seamlessly into production line routings and MES data tracking.

What they're looking for

  • Test Failure Disposition & Testability Feedback: Analyze production test yield fallout and telemetry to identify whether failures stem from component defects, SMT process variation, or test fixture/coverage escapes, feeding actionable data back into the test and design loops.
  • Embedded Hardware Bring-Up, Firmware, & Automation: Develop and utilize diagnostic scripts in Python and Bash to exercise board interfaces, log diagnostic telemetry, and support hardware verification during initial manufacturing bring-up.
  • Support initial board bring-up on the manufacturing line across modern: embedded compute platforms, such as AMD/Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ SoCs, ARM Cortex processors, and high-speed memory interfaces.
  • Define production flashing, secure-key provisioning, and interface validation: procedures over embedded buses and protocols: MIL-STD-1553, PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and JTAG.
