LAYIQ - Senior Electrical Engineer, Hardware Platform, 8+ years of experience at Anduril

Own full-cycle PCB design for high-reliability defense hardware — from requirements capture and schematic design through component selection, layout (Altium preferred), bring-up, test, debug, and system integration — while setting the technical standard for execution across the team
Architect and optimize circuit solutions for safety-critical aerospace and defense applications, including power electronics, motor/actuator drivers, digital control systems, fuzing circuitry, or vehicle interconnect — depending on program focus
Drive rigorous design analysis across programs: worst-case analysis (WCA), thermal analysis, DFMEA, component derating, and signal/power integrity analysis to ensure reliability across extreme vibration and temperature environments
Define test strategies and lead Design Verification Testing (DVT), qualification testing, and functional testing from board bring-up through ground and flight test
Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses, with an eye toward integration complexity and scalability across vehicle variants
Serve as a technical authority across mechanical, thermal, software, systems, quality, and manufacturing teams — driving alignment on cross-discipline tradeoffs throughout development
Lead and facilitate peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews; provide substantive technical feedback that shapes design decisions
Lead root cause and failure analysis in support of ground test and field operations, and drive corrective action across teams
Define vendor evaluation criteria and lead sourcing decisions for critical electrical components and subsystems
Mentor and technically guide junior and mid-level engineers on design methodology, analysis rigor, and test approach
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, 8+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex PCB designs, with demonstrated depth in at least one domain relevant to defense or aerospace hardware
Deep expertise in analog, digital, and power electronics, with a track record of delivering hardware in challenging environments
Expert proficiency with electronic CAD tools (Altium Designer strongly preferred)
Proficiency with circuit simulation tools (LTSpice or equivalent) and experience applying simulation to validate designs before hardware build
Strong competence with lab test equipment and test automation; experience designing or directing structured DVT and qualification campaigns
Deep familiarity with standard interfaces including CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB, and PCIe, and experience with MCU, CPU, and FPGA-based architectures
Demonstrated experience designing for signal integrity and power integrity in high-reliability environments
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
