Electrical Harness Design Engineer
Slope, Waltham, MA, United States
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
The Anduril Imaging team develops state‑of‑the‑art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. The team is heavily involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro‑optical, infrared, and sensor data to give our war fighters and allies an advantage.
ABOUT THE JOB
As an Electrical Harness Design Engineer at Anduril Imaging, you will work closely with fellow electrical and mechanical engineers to design and develop advanced, production‑quality electro‑optic and infrared systems. Your role will involve hands‑on testing and collaboration with cross‑functional teams to ensure optimal performance and integration of cutting‑edge technologies.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Provide the engineering expertise to design, fabricate and integrate harness systems and represent the harness discipline on projects
Investigate, plan, design and develop harnesses to meet various technical requirements
Research, select and procure appropriate connectors, back‑shells, contacts, wire, shielding, and cable construction for the product to meet appropriate environmental requirements
Work closely with fellow electrical and mechanical engineers to develop and generate harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams to release for production
Participate in design reviews and provide input to identify issues and drive design choices
Prepare harness assembly instructions and test procedures, incorporating your knowledge of industry standards and best practices
Provide guidance to the electrical team in identifying electrical system requirements given input from internal and external stakeholders including engineering (mechanical, electrical, software), product management, quality and compliance
Work in a fast‑paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware
Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent
5+ years hands‑on experience designing electrical harnessing for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications
Experience working directly with harness manufacturers to deliver high quality, high reliability products
Own end‑to‑end of the electrical wiring and interconnect system, including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity.
Ensure the design meets system‑level electrical requirements for voltage, current, bandwidth, redundancy, EMI/EMC.
Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection, and topology.
Analyze and mitigate electrical risks such as voltage drop, crosstalk, EMI susceptibility, and thermal effects.
Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, 1553)
Familiar with existing applicable harness standards as well as MIL‑STD requirements
Able to apply knowledge of SWaP for power, network and communications systems and designs
Experience reading wire block interconnect diagrams and wire diagrams
Organization and communication skills (both written and oral)
Must be eligible to receive a US Security Clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Build 3D routed harness data files applying NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness
Experience with or proficient in 3D CAD wire harness routing, such as (NX, Siemens Capital, CATIA, CREO)
Able to read and generate formboard drawings in 2D CAD for production
EMI/EMC principles and common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS‑422, RS‑232, MIL‑STD‑1553).
