Winter 2027 PCB Layout Engineer Co-op
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to extract:
- About the role: description of company and role? The posting starts with description of Anduril and then "We're looking for a PCB Layout Engineer Co-op to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you'll work alongside avionics, systems, and software engineers supporting the design of test systems used for development, qualification, verification, and validation. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment working on new developments, active deployments, and customer-operated hardware, we want you on the team." That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" bullet list of projects: list of candidate projects with deliverables. That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list.
- Skills: maybe combine? Could have Skills section for technical skills like Altium, etc. But we already have Preferred Qualifications includes many skills. Could still have Skills section summarizing? But we must not create filler. If we have both Required and Preferred Qualifications, we can keep them as separate sections. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid having both Requirements and Qualifications. We'll include both.
- Benefits: The posting includes "Benefits" paragraph: "US Hourly Range $34—$50 USD Benefits The salary range for this role is an estimate..." Actually there is a "Benefits" heading in the text: "Benefits The salary range for this role is an estimate..." Then description of benefits: "Highly competitive equity grants... Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees..." So we have benefits content.
- Pay: The posting includes "US Hourly Range $34—$50 USD". That's pay info. Should we create a Pay section? The instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes, we have hourly range. So we can have Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: Not mentioned besides internship length 16-24 week in-person. That's schedule? Could be considered schedule. The posting says "Ability to complete an in-person 16-24 week internship in one of our offices in winter 2027." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes a large scam warning section and data privacy etc. Must remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info from each section. Let's extract About the role paragraph exactly: "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. We're looking for a PCB Layout Engineer Co-op to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you'll work alongside avionics, systems, and software engineers supporting the design of test systems used for development, qualification, verification, and validation. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment working on new developments, active deployments, and customer-operated hardware, we want you on the team." We'll keep that as. Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" section includes bullet list of candidate projects each with description and deliverable. We need to preserve all detail. Let's extract each: - Schematic-to-layout translation — Take an existing schematic for a test fixture or subsystem board and produce a first-pass PCB layout in Altium under mentor review. Deliverable: completed layout, design rule check (DRC) report, and a writeup of key placement/routing decisions. - ECAD library development — Build and validate a set of component footprints and symbols for an active program, following library management best practices. Deliverable: verified library parts plus documentation of the library management process used. - Stackup and impedance study — Work with a mentor to define a board stackup for a target interface (e.g., USB, Ethernet) and calculate controlled-impedance routing requirements. Deliverable: stackup definition, impedance calculations, and routing guidelines for the design. - DFM/DFA review — Review an in-progress or completed layout against fabrication and assembly design rules, flagging issues before release. Deliverable: DFM/DFA findings report and recommended layout corrections. - Signal/power integrity pass — Perform a basic signal or power integrity check on an existing design (e.g., decoupling placement, return path continuity) and propose improvements. Deliverable: findings summary and updated layout recommendations. - Test fixture layout support — Support layout of a small test or bring-up board used for hardware validation. Deliverable: completed board layout ready for fabrication release, plus a short design review with the team. We'll put each as
. Schedule: we have the line about internship length. Already included in Required Qualifications? Actually Required Qualifications includes ability to complete internship. But we also have Schedule section maybe redundant. However we already have that point in Required Qualifications. The instruction: do not repeat info? It didn't forbid duplication but we should preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay but maybe better to keep only once. Since Required Qualifications already includes that, we could omit Schedule section to avoid redundancy. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have schedule info (internship length). It's already in Required Qualifications but still specific content. We could still include Schedule but would duplicate. Safer to not duplicate; we can keep it only in Required Qualifications. Since we already have Required Qualifications covering that, we can skip Schedule section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Check if any other sections like Skills: we could combine skills into Preferred Qualifications; but we already have Preferred Qualifications covering skills. So fine. Now produce HTML. Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll output:
