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.
