About The Position

Anduril is seeking an Integrated Power Systems Engineer/Technician to design, develop, and deliver robust, efficient, and mission-critical power solutions for our rapidly expanding portfolio of maritime portfolio. This role is hands-on, requiring you to assemble detail components and sub-assemblies, diagnose issues on the floor in real-time, and collaborate with teammates to accelerate and advance our capabilities. Anduril’s Maritime Manufacturing Technology Team is responsible for rapidly developing and implementing manufacturing technologies, processes, and materials for cutting-edge defense hardware. The team is developing deployable static and moving surfaces, undersea and sea to air vehicles, and scaling these products in our new manufacturing facilities.

Requirements

• Associate's degree in Electrical Technology, Electronics, or a related technical field, OR equivalent practical experience and certifications.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of power electronics and electrical systems.
• Functional understanding of common power conversion topologies (e.g., buck, boost, flyback) and ability to interpret schematics.
• Experience with assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of battery packs and Battery Management Systems (BMS).
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings.
• Proficiency with standard test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and electronic loads.
• Experience with data collection and basic analysis of power system performance metrics.
• Strong troubleshooting skills for electrical and power systems, identifying components and issues based on test results.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple tasks.
• Good communication skills and ability to collaborate with engineering and production teams.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.
• Must be a U.S. Person.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working with high-voltage and/or high-power electrical systems (kW range).
• Familiarity with advanced semiconductor components (SiC, GaN) used in power electronics.
• Experience in the defense, aerospace, or automotive industries.
• Basic understanding of how embedded software interacts with hardware in power systems.
• Experience assisting with EMI/EMC testing and applying basic mitigation techniques (e.g., shielding, grounding).
• Experience with common CAD viewing tools for mechanical or electrical drawings.

Responsibilities

• Assemble, install, and integrate components of power systems (including power generation, energy storage, power conversion, and distribution) into new and existing product lines, following engineering designs and specifications.
• Build, test, and calibrate power electronics modules (DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, inverters), verifying their performance against established specifications and documenting results.
• Assist engineers in the setup and testing of power management systems, verifying functionality, collecting data, and troubleshooting hardware related to dynamic power allocation and fault detection.
• Install, test, and troubleshoot cooling solutions for high-power components (batteries, power electronics, motors), ensuring proper assembly and operation as per engineering guidelines.
• Perform electrical and mechanical integration of power systems with motors, sensors, computing units, and communication systems. Verify correct wiring, connections, and basic functionality.
• Design, program, and commission systems (like PLCs, SCADA, and HMI) that manage power distribution, ensuring machinery and energy systems operate reliably, efficiently, and safely.
• Tune drives by optimizing variable frequency drive (VFD) and motor parameters—such as PI gains, acceleration rates, and torque limits—to ensure peak performance, energy efficiency, and operational stability.
• Combine a motor with its drive electronics, controller, and/or mechanical components (like gears) into a single, compact unit.
• Execute detailed test plans for performance, safety, and reliability across various environmental conditions (temperature, vibration, shock, ingress protection), meticulously collecting and documenting all test data.
• Set up test equipment and conduct EMI/EMC pre-compliance and full compliance tests under engineering supervision, accurately recording test results.
• Adhere strictly to established safety protocols, industry standards, and military specifications during the assembly, testing, and maintenance of all power systems.
• Collaborate effectively with mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers, as well as production teams, by providing hands-on support, feedback on build processes, and data from testing activities.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
