Electrical Engineer - Board Design, Thunder

<div class="content-intro"><p>Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.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.</p></div><p><strong>ABOUT THE TEAM</strong><br><br>The Maneuver Dominance team is building Thunder - an autonomous attack rotorcraft built to fight alongside crewed combat aviation to deliver overwhelming mass effects deep beyond the front lines. <br><br>Autonomy is only as good as the link that carries it. Thunder is a compact airframe with weapons, sensors and radios competing for the same antenna real estate, flying low and in formation, in a spectrum that is actively contested. That is the problem you would own.<br><br><strong>ABOUT THE JOB</strong><br><br>We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join the Thunder team and own board design for our next-generation payloads and mission systems. In this role, you will lead the full lifecycle of custom, flight-critical printed circuit boards that integrate advanced sensors, communications gear, and processing hardware into the aircraft. You will design robust digital and power electronics engineered to survive harsh aerospace environments with demanding weight, power, and thermal constraints. From schematic capture and layout through hands-on lab bring-up and flight testing, you will be the hardware owner driving designs directly onto the platform. Collaborating closely with mechanical, software, and systems teams, your work will directly deliver the hardware that powers our aircraft's mission capabilities.<br><br><strong>WHAT YOU'LL DO</strong></p> <ul> <li>Design embedded electronics from concept to functional prototype, including hardware selection, schematic & PCB design, board bring-up, and system level integration</li> <li>Troubleshoot issues that span the electrical and software boundaries, with solid skills using both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools</li> <li>Work with modern SoCs and networking hardware to build Anduril platforms</li> <li>Work closely with firmware/software engineers for processor/peripheral selection, board bring up, and troubleshooting.</li> <li>Work closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products</li> <li>Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware</li> <li>Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages</li> </ul> <h4><strong>REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering</li> <li>3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex hardware, embedded systems, and products</li> <li>Demonstrated experience with multi-gigabit SERDES, DDR memory busses, Ethernet MAC and PHY interfaces, FPGAs, and common communication busses like SPI and I2C</li> <li>Experience with microprocessor and microcontroller selection, configuration, and interfacing</li> <li>Experience with component, schematic capture, high speed board design, and guiding PCB
