Senior Manager, Power Electronics and Power ConversionActive$253K
The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
Lead Programs & Architecture: Oversee power electronics and power conversion programs from concept through production. You will guide the development of motor controllers, DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, and smart power distribution systems for defense platforms.
Project Management: Create, maintain, and communicate detailed product development schedules to ensure all assigned team members are aligned on tasks, hardware spins, and testing deadlines.
System Design: Design high-reliability, efficient, power-dense, thermally optimized, and fault-tolerant power system architectures. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define vehicle power requirements and write design verification test plans.
HIL & System Verification: Verify power system performance, efficiency, thermal margins, transient responses, and protection features (over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit) on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups or flight-representative systems.
Hardware Evaluation: Utilize advanced evaluation methodologies, including automated efficiency mapping, thermal imaging, power quality testing, and dynamic load profiling.
Full-Cycle PCB & LRU Design: Drive high-power PCB and Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) design. This includes requirements gathering, schematic design, component selection (wide-bandgap semiconductors like SiC/GaN, custom magnetics, bulk capacitors), gate driver design, layout supervision (optimizing for parasitic inductance and EMI), bring-up, and system integration.
What they're looking for
- Advanced Education: Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Power Electronics.
- Advanced Tech & Safety: Experience with wide-bandgap (SiC, GaN) semiconductor technology, high-voltage safety design practices (touch-safe standards, creepage/clearance), and thermal management of high-power-density systems.
- Aerospace & Environmental Standards: Familiarity with DO-160 (specifically Section 16 for Power Input and Section 21 for RF Emissions).
- Familiarity with DO-254 and DO-311A (for rechargeable lithium battery systems).
- Familiarity with MIL-STD-810 (environmental engineering considerations).
