About the role

Anduril is seeking a Mechatronics Engineer with strong PCBA design experience to join the Maritime team at our Costa Mesa HQ, supporting the Dive XL extra-large unmanned underwater vehicle (XLUUV). You will own electronics that live at the seam between software, electrical, and mechanical subsystems - designing, bringing up, and troubleshooting boards that control vehicle payloads, sensors, actuators, and mission-critical subsystems in a pressurized subsea environment. The role requires high ownership, hands-on instincts, and frequent collaboration with software, systems, mechanical, and test engineers. High growth potential and additional leadership opportunities are available as the program scales.

Responsibilities

Design PCBAs end-to-end: requirements capture, schematic design, layout review, fabrication, assembly, bringup, and qualifications

Troubleshoot boards at the bench and in integrated vehicle configurations - isolate failures across electrical, firmware, and mechanical boundaries

Serve as the technical bridge between software, electrical, and mechanical disciplines - translate subsystem needs into electronics requirements and vice versa

Design and integrate electro-mechanical subsystems including motor drives, sensors, actuators, and power distribution for subsea operation

Perform trade studies and physics-based analysis for board architecture, component selection, and thermal/power budgets

Identify and manage relationships with PCBA fabrication, assembly, and component vendors

Lead design reviews, define and execute hardware test plans, and transition designs from prototype into production

Support vehicle integration, at-sea test events, and customer demonstrations as needed

Travel to test sites, fabrication vendors, and integration facilities as needed

Use first principles physics as the basis for every decision

Wear many hats

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years of electrical / PCBA design experience in a professional setting

Proficiency in ECAD tools (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent) - schematic capture through layout

Experience taking PCBAs from concept through bringup, including bare-metal microcontroller design (STMicro, TI, NXP, or similar)

Familiarity with microcontrollers, power conversion, and system integration

Ability to read, interpret, and manipulate schematics, wiring diagrams, and PCB layouts

Experience debugging at both schematic and board level using oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and multimeters

Demonstrated leadership on a complex technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings)

Strong organizational skills and the ability to drive work independently across disciplinary boundaries

High competence with, and fluid use of, engineering first principles

BS in an engineering field, or equivalent work experience

Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
