Staff Electrical Engineer, Space

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 Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. 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. ABOUT THE JOB As a Staff Electrical Engineer on the Anduril Imaging team, you will own the electronics architecture for space-bound imaging payloads and drive their design from concept through flight.

This is a system-level role for an engineer who can hold the whole payload in their head — defining the electrical architecture, making the build-versus-buy and COTS-versus-rad-hard tradeoffs that keep schedule and cost in check, and then going hands-on to lay out, bring up, and qualify the hardware. You will set the technical direction for power, sensor, and interface electronics, and remain hands-on to see your individual designs take flight. You will work in rapid design cycles where the goal is to get capable, robust hardware into space in twelve months or less.

Requirements

are load-bearing and which aren't, iterate on real hardware, and demonstrate the discipline to design for manufacturability and test from day one. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy and be a technical anchor for less experienced engineers on the team.

, and push back on

that don't earn their place on the critical path. 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. ). 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.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

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.
