Senior Electrical Engineer, Thunder Payload IntegrationActive$129K

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

What you'll do

• Own the payload electrical architecture: design power delivery, data, and control wiring from the aircraft bus to payload interfaces through deployment mechanisms

• Design firing circuits and payload control electronics: arming/safing logic, continuity test interfaces, and ground-to-aircraft handoff protocols for mission-critical payloads

• Define and implement the mission/vehicle management system (SMS/VMS): electrical interface for payload control — command, status, and safety interlock signals

• Design harness routing through articulated deployment mechanisms: connector mate/de-mate logic and continuity assurance across all mechanism positions

• Design ground support equipment (GSE): bench simulators, continuity test sets, and arming/safing control stations to support integration and range operations

• Perform EMC analysis for firing-circuit-class signals in a hybrid-electric: airframe environment — identify HERO/HERP/HERF risks and define mitigation

What they're looking for

• Support lab verification of the payload electrical chain: bench test through simulated bus to payload connector before aircraft integration
• Support on-aircraft integration and ground firing verification at range-cleared facilities
• –6 years in aerospace or defense electrical engineering with payload or weapons electrical systems experience
• Firing circuit design: EED circuits, arming/safing logic, and safety analysis
