Full Job Description
ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Electronic Warfare (EW) team is seeking experienced generalist embedded software engineers to build out the software ecosystem supporting a next-generation electronic warfare platform. As an Embedded software engineer, you'll develop high-performance implementations of numerical algorithms, collaborate with digital systems engineers to enable maximum-performance interfaces between next-gen RF hardware and software, work with DSP and RFML engineers to rapidly deploy bleeding-edge capabilities to our customers, and collaborate with the wider software organization to deliver seamless integration of electronic warfare products with the Anduril Lattice system-of-systems suite. You will apply state-of-the-art software construction techniques to ensure the timely delivery of correct mission-critical code.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Own component qualification for new parts and new sources across electrical and mechanical commodities, including semiconductors, RF components, passives, connectors, PCB/PCBA, switches, fasteners and hardware, seals, adhesives and other materials.
  • Define and execute qualification plans necessary to ensure compatibility and compliance for production and deployed EW systems.
  • Proactively identify critical single-source components across active EW designs and drive second-source qualification before it becomes urgent, owning the technical trade, the test plan, and the qualification process.
  • Perform form-fit-function analysis on candidate alternates and present findings to change control board for approval and implementation.
  • Embed with EW design engineers from architecture through NPI, influencing component selection while designs are still open, and reviewing schematics and BOMs for parts that carry avoidable supply or reliability risk.
  • Serve as the standing component resource for the design team, driving component commonality and reuse across EW programs and product configurations, reducing the number of unique parts engineering has to sustain.
  • Own the engineering-side response to obsolescence: monitor lifecycle status across active BOMs, triage EOL and PCN notices, and drive the technical resolution
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or equivalent.
  • 5+ years in component engineering, parts engineering, or a materials and processes role supporting electronic and electromechanical hardware.
  • Hands-on experience qualifying alternate and second sources for production hardware, including form-fit-function assessment
  • Working knowledge of both electrical component families and mechanical/electromechanical hardware.
  • Experience working directly with design engineers, sourcing/supply chain, and suppliers.
  • Experience with products used in demanding environments (defense, aerospace, or comparable high-rigor industry)
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Experience with RF and microwave components and printed circuit board materials.
  • Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
  • Exposure to working in a fast-paced, start-up environment.
