## Description

We are seeking highly experienced Electrical Systems Arechitect to play a pivotal role in defining and shaping the electrical architecture for our product lines. These roles will bridge the critical gap between high-level systems concepts and detailed electrical design, ensuring robust, scalable, and manufacturable solutions for our advanced defense systems. You will be instrumental in translating strategic Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) into actionable electrical requirements and architecture that will guide the entire product development lifecycle., * Lead the definition and development of robust, scalable, and maintainable electrical architectures for complex product lines.

 * Conduct architectural trades, balancing performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability.
 * Bridge the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements and functional modules.
 * Allocate functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols.
 * Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture., To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind:
 * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates.
