The opportunity

The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. The team is heavily involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro-optical,…

What you'll do

  • Own the electrical architecture for imaging payloads, partitioning the: system, defining power, sensor, data, and interface electronics, and driving the architectural tradeoffs (COTS vs. rad-hard, performance vs. schedule vs. cost) that enable a sub-12-month path to orbit.

  • Lead the design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs spanning: analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics for EO/IR sensor systems.

  • Translate sensor and system performance models into electrical requirements,: and push back on requirements that don't earn their place on the critical path.

  • Drive rapid design-build-test cycles: prototype quickly, characterize on the bench, iterate on real hardware, and converge on flight-ready designs without unnecessary cycles.

  • Design for the space environment (radiation, thermal extremes, vacuum,: vibration, and launch loads) and own the analysis and testing (TVAC, vibe, EMI/EMC) that proves it.

  • Bake in design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) from the first: schematic so designs scale cleanly toward low-rate production as programs mature.

What they're looking for

  • + years of experience in electrical engineering spanning system-level: architecture, electronics design, and hands-on test, with a track record of owning designs end to end.
  • Direct experience designing electronics for space, especially New Space /: commercial-cadence programs that flew hardware in a year or less.
  • Familiarity with the space environment and qualification: radiation effects (TID/SEE), rad-hard and rad-tolerant part selection, COTS-for-space approaches, TVAC, vibration, and EMI/EMC.
  • Experience with EO/IR, RF, optical, or other sensor and communication systems.
  • Experience designing for manufacturability and assembly, and transitioning: proven designs toward low-rate production to make them more robust and lower cost.
  • Familiarity with analytical tools and programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, or C++.
  • Understanding of system integration processes and workflows in aerospace or defense environments.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and leading design reviews.
