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

  • Own 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 — while setting the technical standard for execution across the team

  • Architect and optimize circuit solutions 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

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

  • Define test strategies and lead Design Verification Testing (DVT),: qualification testing, and functional testing from board bring-up through ground and flight test

  • Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses, with an eye: toward integration complexity and scalability across vehicle variants

  • Serve as a technical authority across mechanical, thermal, software, systems,: quality, and manufacturing teams — driving alignment on cross-discipline tradeoffs throughout development

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
