Job 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.

About The Job

At Anduril we are developing unmanned aerial systems capable of terminal guidance, long‑range intelligence collection, precision navigation, and unsupervised autonomy. Anvil, Altius, Ghost, and other developmental UAS platforms are built to operate in remote environments with limited user input, driving requirements for reliability and autonomy. We have developed an autonomy stack that receives user intent, responds to detections processed at the edge, and coordinates flight patterns for groups of assets. We are looking for systems engineers with experience in this field to help design and manage the next generation of Anduril’s flight vehicles. In order to be successful at Anduril, a systems engineer needs to be familiar with simulation and rapid prototyping development to drive complex electro‑mechanical and aero‑performance design trades, in addition to supporting the engineering product development, production, and sustainment through the entire product lifecycle.

What You’ll Do

• Lead development for an end‑to‑end solution by collaborating with cross‑functional teams to define requirements and system architecture.
• Design, develop, and maintain system components that meet functional and performance requirements in complex system environments.
• Conduct thorough testing and debugging to ensure the reliability, scalability, and resilience of software applications, especially within a distributed systems context.
• Work closely with hardware engineers and product managers to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware components.
• Collaborate with the team to define and document software engineering processes and practices, ensuring adherence to quality standards and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of post‑grad industry experience, including but not limited to electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or systems engineering.
• A passion for systems design development, integration, and test.
• Hands‑on prototyping, troubleshooting, and build experience.
• Experience developing automated test scrips and frameworks using a common language (e.g., Python, MATLAB).
• Extremely organized and detail‑oriented.
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills.
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture.
• Must hold a U.S. Secret security clearance, or higher.
• Ability to travel up to 25% as needed for test planning and execution.
• Willing to spend the first six months on this job in Irvine, CA for hands‑on training in our HQ before returning to OH permanently.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience with complex robotic systems.
• Familiarity with IP‑Based networks.
• Experience with mission systems, including communications systems and components.
• Familiarity with aviation airworthiness considerations.
