Full Job Description
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. 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. You will make well-informed engineering judgments about which requirements are load-bearing and which aren't, iterate on real hardware, and
