As a Senior Electrical Engineer on Anduril Imaging’s team, you will own the electronics architecture for space-bound imaging payloads and drive their design from concept through flight. This role involves defining electrical architectures, making build-versus-buy decisions, and ensuring designs are robust enough to withstand the space environment while adhering to strict timelines. You will work closely with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams to integrate hardware and resolve issues efficiently. Key responsibilities include translating sensor performance into electrical requirements, designing for manufacturability, and conducting rigorous testing such as TVAC, vibration, and EMI/EMC analysis. Ideal candidates have 8+ years of experience in system-level architecture and hands-on test, with a focus on space electronics design and rapid iterative cycles. Proficiency in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics is essential, along with strong collaboration skills across multidisciplinary teams.
