anduril

2027 Early Career Electrical Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

While this exact role may not be open today, we are always looking ahead and want to connect with talented people like you for future opportunities. We will begin reviewing applications in August 2026 for positions starting in 2027. We highly encourage you to apply early to get a head start! By submitting your application today, you'll be on our radar, and an Anduril recruiter will reach out to you directly as soon as a matching role opens up.

We are looking for Electrical Engineers to join our rapidly growing team! We hire self-motivated people, those who hold a higher bar for themselves than anyone else could hold for them. If you are eager to solve tough problems, then this role might be for you!

What You'll Do
  • Design electronics from concept to functional prototype, including hardware selection, PCB design, and system level integration.
  • Troubleshoot issues that span the electrical and software boundaries, with solid skills using both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and software debugging tools.
  • Develop low-level firmware/software for microcontrollers, embedded Linux systems, and supporting development & testing tools.
  • Work closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products.
  • Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware.
  • Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages

Required Qualifications

  • Must be pursuing or have recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Able to start full time in 2027.
  • Familiarity with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, current-probes, and automation of tests.
  • Familiarity with software development processes and tools such as git, Github, JIRA, etc.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.
  • Familiarity with embedded Linux development, including device trees, hardware drivers, bootloaders, and basic Unix/Linux tools.
  • Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
  • Experience with Altium Designer or equivalent electronic design automation tools.
  • Proficiency with C/C++ and common languages (Python, Rust, Haskell, etc.)
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities; U.S. clearance eligibility may be required depending on program.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Have a bias for action. If you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it.
  • Be naturally curious about the technologies and tools you use.
  • Low-ego, high ownership, and mission oriented.

$86,000 - $114,000 USD
