Electrical Technician, EagleEye

Anduril • Costa Mesa, CA

21d

About The Position

The Manufacturing Production team supports manufacturing through equipment operation, product assembly, quality control, and maintaining a safe and efficient work environment. The Electrical Technician will assemble and integrate mechanical and electrical components for the EagleEye program and perform PCB/PCBA/PWA repairs and cable harness rework when production needs require it. Rework is intermittent rather than continuous. The role suits a detail-oriented, self-starting technician comfortable working in a fast-paced team environment with minimal oversight.

The technician assembles EagleEye AR headset optical components, displays, and subassemblies from blueprints and schematics; conducts product and acceptance tests; supports validation and test-procedure development with integrators; integrates subsystems; and documents assembly, calibration, test, and quality results. Rework duties include inspecting, testing, fabricating, repairing, and investigating root causes for PCB assemblies and cable harnesses. The technician reads cable assembly drawings, schematics, and test procedures and uses electrical measuring and test equipment.

The position requires at least three years of PCB/PCBA/PWA and cable harness repair/rework experience, relevant manufacturing and assembly skills, familiarity with electrical concepts and test equipment, and adherence to ESD and safety practices. Candidates must be a U.S. Person because the role requires access to export-controlled information or facilities. The assigned shift may include overtime and weekends as needed; the estimated first shift is 7:00 AM–3:30 PM. The work may require prolonged standing, climbing ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, and lifting up to 25 pounds unassisted. Compensation is listed in hourly ranges by production technician level, with the specific level tailored to qualifications. Anduril states that highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers and that it offers top-tier benefits to full-time employees.
