Senior Electrical Engineer, Hardware Platform

Senior Electrical Engineer, Hardware Platform, 8+ years of experience

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM

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. Our teams set engineering standards, run development manufacturing and test sites, and develop core technology products that ship across multiple product lines.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for Senior Electrical Engineers to join our rapidly growing Hardware Platform organization, supporting defense hardware development across propulsion and weapons systems programs.

Propulsion: Develop and test cutting edge electronics for propulsion system. We are looking for a self-starter with deep technical experience in defense or aerospace hardware development to apply these skills in propulsion flight controllers, power electronics, high-efficiency motor controllers, and electromagnetic actuators.

ESAD
:
Develop fuzing circuitry for missile systems, closely collaborate with vehicle development teams to design, document, and produce tailored fuzing systems and effectors. Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within the vehicle.

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
• Lead and facilitate peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews; provide substantive technical feedback that shapes design decisions
• Lead root cause and failure analysis in support of ground test and field operations, and drive corrective action across teams
• Define vendor evaluation criteria and lead sourcing decisions for critical electrical components and subsystems
• Mentor and technically guide…
