Electro-Mechanical Engineer, R&D

Electro-Mechanical Engineer needed for R&D of complex systems, requiring 3+ years of mechanical/electrical design experience and CAD skills.

Anduril is seeking an Electro-Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, or Mechanical Engineer to join the team at our Costa Mesa HQ. Here you will work on early stage R&D development for complex systems, including but not limited to mechanical structures, batteries, mechanisms, actuators, motors, power systems, PCBAs, sensors, and payloads. The role requires high ownership and autonomy to prove concept feasibility and build Anduril’s earliest stage prototypes. The ideal candidate would be practical, hands-on and a self starter.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Execute rapid evaluation of engineering concepts in a wide range of fields
Identify partners in industry to engage with, and manage early vendor relationships
Perform trade studies and physics-based analysis of blue-sky engineering problems
Manage internal and external market research and comparisons
Design, implementation, and test of complex electro-mechanical systems
High level system ownership with large levels of professional autonomy
Lead design reviews, run analysis, visit vendors, define and execute hardware test plans
Build and test prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful projects towards production
Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers and internal leaders
Travel to test sites, vendors, and demos as needed
Use first principles physics as a basis for every decision

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience in an immersive technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings)
Demonstrated leadership, ownership, and autonomy skills (collegiate project teams or professional settings)
3+ years of mechanical and/or electrical design experience in a professional setting
CAD skills (any platform) and ability to make high quality engineering drawings that meet industry standards
Experience in PCB design and any ECAD (Altium, KiCAD, etc)
High competence with, and fluid use of, engineering first principles
Strong organizational skills
BS, MS or PhD in an engineering field, or equivalent work experience
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience with NX and Teamcenter PLM
Advanced design skills for: Machining, composites, sheet metal, injection molding
Hands-on prototyping (machining, shop tools, welding, soldering, board assembly, harnessing)
Practical experience with electrical engineering tools (Oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, multimeters)
Experience with any: power systems, battery management systems, PCBA design, wiring harness design, controls, robotics, and or motor/servo drive systems
Familiarity with microcontroller design (STMicro, TI, NXP, etc) from schematic to bringup
Ability to read, interpret, and manipulate schematics, wiring diagrams, and layouts.
Firmware/software experience (Arduino or similar)
Experience in developing a variety of electronics hardware products (UAVs, wearables, firearms, high power electric propulsion, optical systems, or other complex mechanisms)
Experience with microcontroller wired communication protocols (USB, MIPI CSI2, SPI, I2C, CAN, CANFD, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485)
