Experience designing high‑density PCB layouts with an understanding of cutting‑edge PCB manufacturing technology.
Deep understanding of thermal, mechanical, power, and performance tradeoffs.
Experience with creating test plans, benchmarking, and performing validation tests to determine performance of complex hardware systems.
Understanding of high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, USB, MIPI, etc.), power integrity, and signal integrity.
Knowledgeable of EMI/EMC susceptibility and emissions along with mitigation experience.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with high‑performance SOMs (System On a Module).
Experience developing FPGA and ASIC architectures.
Experience with rapid, hands‑on prototyping.
Skilled at soldering and reworking microelectronic components.
Knowledgeable in RF investigation and analysis with specialized equipment (spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, etc.) and RF simulation tool suites.
Knowledge of state‑of‑the‑art hardware systems, software tools, and algorithms for interfaces required for sensors, actuators, firmware development, and inter‑communication bus protocols (CAN‑FD, Ethernet, SFP, 1553, etc.).
Experience using Linux command line interface (CLI).
US Salary Range $129,000 - $171,000 USD (base salary only). Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full‑time offers and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
