Senior Vehicle Power Electronics Engineer

Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM Anduril's Maritime Division is transforming American sea power to meet the defining national security challenges of our era and secure our future of maritime dominance. We are scaling at a historic pace, anchored by Arsenal-2, our new software-defined shipyard being built in Baltimore County, Maryland. It's part of a new $6.6 billion investment in America's submarine industrial base. Arsenal-2 is purpose-built to break long-standing industrial bottlenecks and scale production of critical components for the Navy's Virginia-class attack submarines to support fleet requirements. At the same time, it will build the industrial muscle to field our next-generation AUVs at scale. We aren't waiting for the new shipyard to be completed. The work on this transformation starts right now, with development inside our new 160,000 square foot Proto-Factory in Orange County, California, where the team is already laying the foundation. As the prototyping hub for Arsenal-2, this facility gives us a multi-year head start, proving out the advanced manufacturing methods, digital workflows, and quality systems that will scale across our broader shipyard network. In Anduril's Maritime Division, we are actively building America's next decisive advantage at sea—and this is the moment to join us. ABOUT THE JOB You will own energy regulation for a maritime autonomous vehicle. Reporting to the Energy Systems Lead, you will design power conversion and regulation circuits that deliver stable, clean power to all subsystems while maximizing conversion efficiency for long-range endurance. Every point of converter efficiency is range the vehicle gets back, and the power electronics have to dump their heat into a sealed hull with no air moving over them. This role owns the trade between efficiency, thermal margin, and volume. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Own power regulation and DC-DC conversion design • Design voltage regulation circuits for multiple subsystem voltage rails • Optimize converter efficiency to maximize vehicle endurance • Manage thermal design for power electronics in sealed enclosures • Ensure power quality for sensitive loads (compute, sensors, communications) • Interface with energy storage, distribution, and consuming subsystem teams • Support EMI/EMC design and qualification testing • Support prototype integration and testing • Travel up to 25% to test sites REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent • 5+ years of experience in power electronics, voltage regulation, or DC-DC converter design • Experience with converter topology selection and efficiency optimization • Familiarity with thermal management for power electronics • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Experience with marine or vehicle power regulation systems • Working knowledge of wide-input-range converter design • Experience with EMI/EMC design for power electronics • Experience in defense or maritime robotics US Salary Range $167,000 — $222,000 USD <span data-contrast="auto"
