Job description
ABOUT THE TEAM Connected Warfare (CW) is the team at Anduril dedicated to the modernization of the command-and-control systems of U.S. and Allied forces. New technologies and adversaries demand a novel approach to battlefield intelligence, and you will be the driving force behind the integration of cutting-edge edge computing technologies that make that a reality. Such systems inherently require both electrical and mechanical components, and we are looking for highly skilled technical leaders to help build and execute these tightly integrated products. Your work will not only help create new products but also help to change the balance of defense capabilities on a global scale.
Job responsibilities
- Directly supervise a small, high-caliber team of 5–6 Jr. and Sr. Electrical Engineering Technicians, providing day-to-day direction of work and priorities, as well as conducting performance reviews and 1-on-1's.
- Set team culture at the ground level; onboard, coach, and develop technicians, contributing input on leveling, career development, and technical growth paths.
- Communicate established priorities, safety expectations, and escalation paths to the team; interface with cross-functional peers (engineers, planners, supply chain) on goals and escalations.
Job requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in electronics/power systems testing, assembly, and rework in an R&D or production environment.
- Prior formal or informal people-leadership experience with demonstrated ability to influence, direct, and develop a small technical team.
- Strong technical literacy: ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics, assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, bills of materials (BOMs), and technical datasheets.
- Demonstrated proficiency in fine-pitch SMT and through-hole soldering (IPC J-STD-001 or equivalent standards), with experience in PCB rework, component replacement, and modification.
- Proven experience building and modifying complex cable and wire harness assemblies, including crimping, soldering various connector types, and routing (IPC-620 or equivalent standards).
- Proficiency in diagnosing electronic failures to the component level using standard test equipment and documentation.
- Ability to build, assemble, and work diligently on prototype products with minimal documentation and oversight.
- Understanding of product development lifecycles, reliability, and compliance testing.
