Anduril Industries · Reston, Virginia, United States · $129,000-$171,000 USD · onsite

We 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.

Key Responsibilities:

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

Requirements:

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

Expertise in PCB fabrication processes, limitations, design rules, and best practices

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
