Our family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to delivering cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

What You'll Do

• Provide engineering expertise to design, fabricate, and integrate harness systems, representing the harness discipline on a project.
• Investigate, plan, design, and develop harnesses to meet various technical requirements.
• Research, select, and procure appropriate connectors, backshells, contacts, wire, shielding, and cable construction to meet environmental requirements.
• Develop and generate harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams for production release.
• Participate in design reviews, providing input to identify issues and drive design choices.
• Prepare harness assembly instructions and test procedures, applying knowledge of industry standards and best practices.
• Guide the electrical team in identifying system requirements based on 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.
• Work directly with harness manufacturers to deliver high-quality, high-reliability products.
• Own the end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect system, including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity.
• Ensure designs meet system-level electrical requirements for voltage, current, bandwidth, redundancy, and 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.
• Apply knowledge of SWaP for power, network, and communications systems.
• Deliverable: working script and a short technical note on protocol behavior/edge cases.
• These projects are program-focused examples, not a limit on scope.

Required Qualifications

• Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Must be returning to school at the end of the internship to continue academic studies for at least one quarter or semester.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities; U.S. clearance eligibility may be required depending on the program.
• Ability to complete an in-person 16-24 week internship in one of our offices in winter 2027.

Preferred Qualifications

• Build 3D routed harness data files using NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness.
• Experience with or proficiency in 3D CAD wire harness routing using Siemens NX.
• Able to read and generate formboard drawings in 2D CAD for production (Siemens Capital).
• Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, 1553).
• Familiarity with applicable harness standards and MIL-STD requirements.
• Experience reading wire block interconnect diagrams and wire diagrams.
• Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
• Experience with aircraft avionics module vendors and avionics component suppliers.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC principles.
