About the role

Senior PCB design role focused on high-reliability and manufacturable board designs for defense products, leading design-for-manufacturing and library standards, with coordination of external resources and multi-project delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Work directly with engineers to produce printed circuit board designs supporting Anduril’s products.
  • Apply modern design standards and guidelines to create high-reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies.
  • Implement combinations of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs.
  • Lead the team in establishing internal guidelines for design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and overall quality fabrication and assembly outputs.
  • Develop and refine team processes for PCB design, part creation, and library/database standards.
  • Coordinate external PCB design resources during design surges.
  • Work in a fast-paced environment, having to juggle multiple concurrent projects and customers.
