Electrical Engineer (Power & Mixed-Signal)

About the Role

Anduril Industries is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer for avionics propulsion systems. The role involves developing and testing cutting-edge electronics, applying skills in propulsion flight controllers, power electronics, high-efficiency motor controllers, and electromagnetic actuators. Responsibilities include electrical design, analysis, testing, and integration from concept to production, vendor management, and ensuring performance, thermal management, and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Full Cycle PCB Design: Translate system-level requirements into designs, perform schematic capture and PCB layouts, select components, and manage bring-up, test, debug, and integration.
• Engine System Electronics: Design and optimize flight controller circuits, power distribution/supplies, motor controller circuits, and electromagnetic actuator circuits.
• Rigorous Analysis: Conduct circuit simulations, worst-case analysis (WCA), thermal analysis, DFMEA, and component derating.
• Comprehensive Testing: Lead board bring-ups, Design Verification Testing (DVT), qualification (Qual) testing, and functional testing.
• Collaborative Design: Provide electrical support and collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, test, quality, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams.
• Peer Reviews: Conduct design reviews.
• Root Cause Analysis: Perform failure analysis in support of engine test and field operations.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or Robotics. Recent graduates with relevant internships or leadership experience are welcome.
• Technical Fundamentals: Solid engineering fundamentals across Analog, Digital, and Power Electronics.
• Software & Tools: Deep proficiency with Altium Designer (or equivalent for schematic and layout) and LTSpice (or equivalent for circuit simulation).
• Laboratory Equipment: Competence with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, spectrum analyzers, function generators, DMMs, electronic loads, power supplies, and test automation.
• Interfaces & Protocols: Familiarity with CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, and common MCU/CPU architectures.
• Security Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Education: Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (MSEE).
• Advanced Tools: Experience with MATLAB / Simulink for data analysis, control loop modeling, or system simulations.
