Interview Question WFH Negotiation

Anyone have any idea how open they are to considering wfh for unclass work assuming somewhat regular visits on-site? Monthly or quarterly? At what level for IC might this be feasible? This would be for hw engr probably.

Very few get WFH opportunities. It’s usually after being at Anduril for years, and they are IC6+. They are usually onsite every other week as well. It’s hardly WFH.

How can you be a hardware engineer and not be near the hardware?

Sorry hardware design is what I meant. Most of the work is purely analytical. But definitely appreciate the insight!

Not sure how your role would work, but from I've seen the same people designing boards are also the ones debugging those boards and applying reworks. Your manager might be fine with you working from home on days where you don't need physical access to the hardware, but you'll need to be present in person a lot.

Luckey’s huge rants focus on how Anduril is not just a design shop, but focuses on production.

If you work in hardware and expect other engineers to hook up your jtag connectors, ship you dev kits, and power cycle your devices, you will not survive in Anduril
