ABOUT THE TEAMAnduril Intelligence Systems (AIS) is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and deliver exquisite capability across their problem set. We aim to develop and deploy critically needed capabilities that address our customers' most pressing national security requirements.
ABOUT THE JOBWe are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Reston, Virginia. In this role you will be responsible for designing, developing, augmenting, adapting, troubleshooting, and managing fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCB) through to working electronic devices. The PCB designs you support will be complex, multilayer printed circuit boards that meet rigorous performance and reliability standards. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including AIS and program leadership, project managers, electrical & mechanical engineers, software engineers, vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers to develop and deliver innovative solutions and ensure seamless integration of completed electronics, firmware, and application software into final deliverable products. This position will require the ability to work on both existing and new designs, troubleshoot and reverse engineer existing PCB designs, and have a strong understanding of the manufacturing process. You will need to work within tight timelines and resource constraints.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Work directly with project managers to produce PCB designs supporting AIS programs
- Apply modern design standards and guidelines to create highly reliable, highly manufacturable assemblies
- Implement designs that can support reuse of existing System-on-Chip, System-on-Module cores, or all new designs, as needed, that focus on edge computation, FPGA, deployment, high precision sensors, RF, and both low and high-power designs
- Own the end-to-end design-to-manufacture pipeline and bill of material (BOM), coordinating external PCB design and manufacturing, and assembly, as needed, across multiple fabrication and assembly houses
- Work in a fast-paced environment, juggling multiple concurrent projects and customers
- Work well on your own and as part of interdisciplinary teams
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or similar and 5+ years of professional experience in PCB design
- Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices appropriate for each design

- Experience using Altium Designer CAD tools
- Experience developing component libraries and library management
- Experience reworking existing physical and soft PCB designs into different form factors
- Experience with a variety of board types, including high density and high layer count (greater than 16) digital designs, power electronics, flex circuits, and RF circuits
- Experience with high-density interconnect (HDI) and thicker boards (greater than 1.6mm)
- Experience with high-speed digital interfaces and controlled impedance routing requirements like USB, PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES, and DDR memory
- Strong communication skills
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance with Full Scope Polygraph
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS- 5+ years of professional experience in PCB design
- Familiarity with other design tools such as OrCAD, Cadence, or Allegro
- Experience in applying relevant IPC standards, CID, CID+ certification
- Experience with high-pin count packages (FPGA fanout)
- Experience with signal and power integrity rules and their effect on layout
