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. WHAT YOU’LL DO: As a (Principal/Senior) RFIC Design Engineer, you will help to build a team that delivers state-of-the-art RFIC capabilities for Anduril's RF products. You will be a key contributor to the design, simulation, and verification of high-performance RF integrated circuits from concept to mass production. You will work with other silicon engineers, product engineers, and outside partners to build a world-class team and capability portfolio. RESPONSIBILITIES: Circuit design: Develop and design complex RF/Analog/Mixed-Signal circuits and blocks, including but not limited to: Multi-channel beamforming Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) and Power Amplifiers (PAs) Mixers and Oscillators (VCOs) Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) Filters, switches, and attenuators Simulation and verification: Architect, design, and simulate RF and Mixed Signal circuit IPs, performing analysis of noise, linearity, mismatch, and stability. Oversee layout and verification to ensure a successful tape-out. System collaboration: Work closely with systems engineers, firmware teams, and layout designers to define specifications and optimize circuit designs for overall system performance. Product validation: Characterize, evaluate, and debug silicon in a lab environment. Collaborate with product engineers and outside manufacturing partners to bring ICs to high-volume production. Optimization: Perform trade-off analysis for performance, power, and area to create cost-optimized solutions. Documentation: Generate comprehensive design documentation, test reports, and specifications.
