Director, Electrical Engineering

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 edge compute and communications technologies that make that approach a reality. If you possess a pioneering spirit and a record of excellence in mechanical engineering, 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.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Our products are complex, integrated hardware-software products in which state-of-the-art electrical systems for power, compute, communications, and controls play a critical, differentiating role. We have successfully delivered a dozen products and have another dozen in the works. We need a senior, experienced, electrical engineering leader to oversee the team developing the electrical subsystems for these products. You will own a large, multi-discipline electrical team and will be responsible for independently developing and executing a comprehensive technical vision across our products. You will be a key senior leader and will partner with other engineering and production teams to make your vision a reality. You will independently lead and manage your team and will be responsible for resource planning, hiring, and mentoring your team members. Your vision is key to the growth and success of our products and will have a meaningful impact on U.S. military command and control capabilities.

You will:

• Oversee a 40+ member electrical engineering department, including electrical architecture, PCB design, harness design, firmware development, system integration, and test
• Own the design and integration of electrical subsystems for multiple products simultaneously
• Drive the transition of electrical designs from prototype to production
• Independently lead people management functions for the entire team, including overseeing personnel growth, resource planning, and hiring
• Review electrical engineering designs and oversee the definition and implementation of best practices
• Partner with mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and supply chain leaders to integrate electrical designs into products and repeatably build them in production
• Manage electrical engineering resources across current and emergent needs to maintain on-time delivery and reliable execution of program requirements
• Author and drive a compelling vision for our electrical engineering roadmap that helps to guide our products into the next generation of features
• Partner with business leaders to triage limited resources against new opportunities, using your business acumen to inform product planning

Qualifications:

• Proven track-record of owning the design and delivery of electrical systems for complex hardware products
• Demonstrated ability to independently design and integrate electrical components into production scale products
• Deep technical fluency and passion for engineering details
• Experience working on both high-power (>100kW) and low power (<20W) ground or automotive systems
• Past leadership of large, multi-discipline, electrical engineering teams
• Strong people management and hiring skills
• Success working in start-up, scale-up, or other high-ambiguity environments
• Business acumen and the ability to use financial metrics to guide engineering decisions
• 10+ years overseeing the development of complex electrical systems
• Bachelors degree or higher in electrical engineering
• U.S. Security Clearance eligible
