Full 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.
Anduril’s Manufacturing Engineering team is responsible for rapidly iterating, scaling, and sustaining cutting-edge defense hardware, including autonomous flight vehicles, intelligent ground systems, radar, and sensor payloads. We bridge the gap between complex electrical architecture and physical hardware production.
As an Electrical Manufacturing Engineer, you will serve as the technical authority for Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA/PCBA), embedded electronics manufacturing, and production test definition across both New Product Introduction (NPI) and rate production. You will embed with hardware design teams to drive rigorous Electrical DFM/DFA/DFT, define manufacturing test coverage and strategies to guide dedicated test engineering teams, lead embedded hardware bring-up on the line, and partner with world-class Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) suppliers to achieve high-yield, mission-critical reliability.
If you are a hands-on electrical problem-solver who understands hardware at the silicon, board, and systems level—and wants to build scalable manufacturing processes for next-generation defense systems—this role is for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- PCBA Design for Manufacturability & Assembly (DFM / DFA):
- Partner directly with Electrical Hardware Design Engineers during schematic capture and layout to optimize complex multilayer rigid and rigid-flex boards for automated SMT production.
- Review board layouts in Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics to verify pad geometries, solder mask dams, trace clearances, via-in-pad plating, and component spacing to maximize assembly yields.
- Review component footprint, connector section, and active IC packages to ensure manufacturability and functionality with production processes.
- Production Test Strategy & Process Definition:
- Ensure the manufacturing test strategy across board and sub-assembly levels are executable. In-Circuit Testing (ICT bed-of-nails), flying probe, boundary scan (JTAG), and connectorized functional verification tests (FVT). Establish test limits, pass/fail criteria, and fault-coverage metrics to hand off to the Manufacturing Test Engineering team.
