ABOUT THE TEAM:

Connected Warfare is the team at Anduril dedicated to the modernization of the command and control systems of U.S. and Allied forces. New technologies and new adversaries demand a new approach to battlefield intelligence, and you will be the driving force behind the integration of cutting-edge compute and communications technologies that make that approach a reality. You'll design the ruggedized, small form-factor enclosures that keep advanced electronics alive through shock, vibration, thermal extremes, and the dirt and water of the real battlefield. If you possess a pioneering spirit and a record of excellence in electronics packaging and mechanical design, join us in shaping the future of military might. Your work will not only create new products but also change the balance of defense capabilities on a global scale. Apply now and become a vital part of our mission to secure a safer tomorrow.

Serve as a key part of a tight-knit product team, spanning electrical, thermal, manufacturing, quality and industrial design
Work with customers to understand real battlefield challenges
Design novel enclosures, cooling solutions, and PCBAs for those mission sets — from the ground up
Solve the hard packaging problems: thermal management, shock and vibration isolation, environmental sealing (IP/ingress), EMI/EMC shielding, and dense component integration in small form factors
Use engineering first-principles, analysis, and testing to ensure your designs survive battlefield conditions and meet standards such as MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461
Get hands-on to build prototypes and first articles
Travel to exercises and work alongside warfighters to support and collect feedback on our products
Iterate on your designs and work with our manufacturing team to build and deliver them at scale
