Electrical Engineer, Sentry Hardware

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril’s Air and Ground Deterrence (AGD) Division develops integrated robotic systems designed to provide multi-domain situational awareness and force protection across land, sea, and air. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly detect and identify potential threats.

Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the multidisciplinary Sentry Hardware team with AGD serves as the key system integrator of the Anduril Sentry Family of Systems (FoS). The Sentry Electrical Engineering Team drives end‑to‑end development, from electrical architecture and ruggedized hardware design to verification, integration, and test, ensuring scalable, production‑ready solutions that meet the performance, reliability, and survivability demands of the U.S. Military and other key stakeholders.

The Sentry Engineering team builds hardware products and systems that leverage artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea, and air. With an AI‑enabled edge processing, continuous 360° pan/tilt capability, and a variety of radars and sensors, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect, and track objects of interest to bring increased awareness to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports, and other critical infrastructure.

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA. This role will own rapidly developed, ruggedized electronics design in addition to scaling legacy design concepts to support full‑rate production. In this role, you will partner with our Architecture and Product Management team to help drive system requirements prior to owning full PCB and/or electrical system design.

This will require identifying high‑risk areas, creating and validating electronics designs for embedded compute and/or power systems, and testing for long‑term reliability while considering manufacturability and testability in the design.

• Take ownership as the main point of contact for electrical integration activities.
• Provide hands‑on and in‑field support of prototype and production‑level product.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to optimize selection, design and integration of high‑power components, modules and distribution.
• Trade‑off component and module selections against size, weight, power and EMC requirements.
• Collaborate with design team to achieve reliability goals at a system level in context of concepts of operation.

• Minimum 5 years of professional experience.
• Self‑starter with the ability to design digital & analog electronics from concept and functional prototype to production‑ready product.
• Ability to troubleshoot existing hardware to find root cause of issues and implement improvements.
• Develop clear documentation to capture design requirements, specifications, test coverage, and test reports.
• Complete full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, layout, bring‑up, test, debug, validation, characterization, and integration with the system.
• Work closely with mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products.
• Work in a fast‑paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer‑operated hardware.
• Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience designing, testing and troubleshooting complex board designs and products.
• Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, current probes, and automation of tests.
• Familiarity with switch‑mode power supply design and testing.
• Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.
• Familiarity with common MCU, CPU, FPGA devices and technologies.
• Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic…
