Job Summary

About the Role:

Are you a highly skilled and driven engineer passionate about solving the hardest power challenges in autonomous systems Anduril is seeking anIntegrated 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 is not just about putting a battery in a box; its about pioneering the power backbone for systems that operate longer perform better and survive in the harshest environments. Your day to day will include integrating testing and troubleshooting some of the most advanced systems in the defense industry. 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.

Andurils 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.

What Youll Do:

  • System Assembly & Integration: 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.
  • Power Conversion & Distribution: Build test and calibrate power electronics modules (DC-DC converters AC-DC rectifiers inverters) verifying their performance against established specifications and documenting results.
  • Intelligent Power Management Support: 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.
  • Thermal Management Implementation: Install test and troubleshoot cooling solutions for high-power components (batteries power electronics motors) ensuring proper assembly and operation as per engineering guidelines.
  • Integration & Interfacing: Perform electrical and mechanical integration of power systems with motors sensors computing units and communication systems. Verify correct wiring connections and basic functionality.
  • Controls Integration: bridges the gap between electrical hardware and automated control software. They design program and commission systems (like PLCs SCADA and HMI) that manage power distribution ensuring machinery and energy systems operate reliably efficiently and safely
  • Drive Tuning: tunes drives by optimizing variable frequency drive (VFD) and motor parameterssuch as PI gains acceleration rates and torque limitsto ensure peak performance energy efficiency and operational stability
  • Electric Motor Integration: combining a motor with its drive electronics controller and/or mechanical components (like gears) into a single compact unit
  • Rigorous Testing & Validation Execution: 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.
  • EMI/EMC Pre-Compliance Support: Set up test equipment and conduct EMI/EMC pre-compliance and full compliance tests under engineering supervision accurately recording test results.
  • Safety & Compliance Adherence: Adhere strictly to established safety protocols industry standards and military specifications during the assembly testing and maintenance of all power systems.
  • Cross-Functional Support: 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.

Required Qualifications:

  • Associates 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.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 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.
