About the role

  • The team is heavily involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro-optical, infrared, and sensor data to give the US and its allies an advantage.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Lead board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting in the lab and during environmental and integration testing, using standard bench equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, DMMs, etc.).
  • Partner closely with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams to drive integration and close out anomalies fast.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to other electrical engineers, and serve as a design-review and decision-making anchor for the electronics scope.
  • Document architectures, designs, analyses, and test results to a standard that supports flight readiness and program reviews.
  • As a Staff Systems Architect on the Anduril Imaging team, you will own the electronics architecture for space-bound imaging payloads and drive their design from concept through flight.

Requirements

  • A degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Strong analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design experience, with deep schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency.
  • Proven ability to take hardware from architecture through bring-up, integration, and qualification - including hands-on debug in the lab.
  • Excellent engineering judgment, problem-solving, and the ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure.

Nice to have

  • 12+ 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.
  • 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.

Compensation

  • $166,000 - $220,000 USD
