Descrição da oferta de emprego

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

As a Controls Engineer, you’ll help build and maintain the controls systems that run the manufacturing floor — contributing to architecture, PLC/HMI development, commissioning, proof of rate, and sustainment. You’ll work hands‑on across the OT/IT automation infrastructure and networking stack, develop Ignition SCADA applications, and grow into deeper system ownership while partnering with senior engineers and cross‑functional teams.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support controls systems across their lifecycle, contributing to architecture, PLC/HMI development, commissioning, proof of rate, and sustainment handoff
• Deploy and maintain OT/IT server infrastructure — Ignition gateways, historians, MQTT brokers, and jump hosts — backed by disciplined backup and change‑control practices
• Help design and maintain the production OT networking stack (MQTT, OPC UA, TCP/IP), and diagnose protocol, timing, and VLAN segmentation issues down to the packet level
• Build Ignition Perspective SCADA applications, including views, tag architecture, alarm pipelines, historian configuration, and gateway topology
• Develop and debug PLC code on Allen‑Bradley and/or Siemens platforms, producing structured, well‑documented code suitable for high‑volume manufacturing
• Apply OT security practices — air‑gapped design, IEC 62443/NIST 800-82 segmentation, Purdue‑model layering, server hardening, and secure remote access
• Partner with IT, Security, FactoryOS, and Manufacturing Engineering on cross‑functional initiatives, and support the controls team in design reviews and cybersecurity buy‑offs
• Handle hands‑on network infrastructure across OT/IT — running and terminating network cabling, configuring switches, and automating backup routines
• Assist with configuring and managing the firewalls and AWS EC2 instances that support production infrastructure

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Information Technology, or a related field
• 4+ years of controls and automation experience in a production environment
• Solid PLC programming skills on Allen‑Bradley and/or Siemens platforms
• Proficiency in Ignition SCADA development, including gateway modules (Tag Historian, Alarm Notification, SQL, OPC UA, MQTT Engine/Distributor/Transmission)
• Working proficiency across the OT stack — MQTT, OPC UA, TCP/IP, industrial Ethernet, VLANs, switching, and routing
• Working knowledge of OT cybersecurity, including air‑gapped networks, network segmentation, server hardening, and secure remote access
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in regulated or defense manufacturing environments (ITAR/EAR-controlled, CMMC, or FDA/aerospace quality systems)
• Experience integrating controls systems with MES and QMS platforms
• Experience deploying Ignition in redundant/high‑availability gateway topologies
• Experience with torque tools and 2D/3D vision systems
• Familiarity with control panel layout, electrical component selection, and cable routing
• Familiarity with CAD packages such as SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or AutoCAD
