Descripción del empleo

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

Anduril Ground Maneuver is the business line that brings Anduril's sensors, effectors, communications, command and control, and Lattice to military ground vehicles. Our customers range from Army and Marine Corps program offices to the units that operate these vehicles in the field. We're hiring the lead systems engineer for a new product that will be fielded across many vehicle types. You'll join early, while the architecture is still taking shape, and carry it through design reviews, integration and test, and into production. You'll define how the system installs on a vehicle, how it gets and distributes power, and how it connects to the vehicle and the network. You'll also define how other Anduril teams and outside partners integrate with it. Other products will be built around those interfaces for years, so they need to be right. You'll work closely with mechanical, electrical, software and mission systems engineers. You'll also work with product teams in other Anduril business lines and with government engineers and operators. Experience designing vehicles or major vehicle systems at an OEM, supplier or defense prime is valuable in this role. You'll report to the Ground Maneuver Chief Engineer and work day to day with the product and program manager. WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the system architecture across vehicle classes, so one design scales across many platforms instead of being redone for each vehicle.
• Define and own the interface standard between the base kit and the mission kits: power, data, network and mechanical.
• Own the vehicle power budget: what the kit draws, what the vehicle can supply, and how the system behaves when power runs short.
• Define the interfaces to vehicle data buses (CAN, J1939, vehicle Ethernet) and to the Army systems already installed on the vehicle.
• Turn product and customer needs into system requirements, with traceability and a verification method for every requirement.
• Write and maintain the interface control documents (ICDs), and get each one an owner and sign-off on both sides.
• Lead the technical content of design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), including the entrance and exit criteria and the evidence that the design meets them.
• Run trade studies on compute, power and packaging, and bring clear recommendations to the Chief Engineer.
• Work directly with engineers in other Anduril business lines whose products will ride on the kit. Understand their needs and hold the line on the standard.
• Keep the technical risk register with the Chief Engineer and program team.
• Work hands‑on in the lab and on vehicles during integration and test.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• B.S. in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems or Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 7+ years of systems engineering experience, including leading systems engineering on a hardware development program through at least PDR
• Experience integrating electronics onto military or commercial ground vehicles
• Working knowledge of vehicle electrical power systems and MIL-STD-1275
• Experience with vehicle networks and data buses (CAN, J1939, Ethernet)
• Experience writing ICDs and owning an interface across teams or companies
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810
• Track record of making architecture tradeoffs and defending them to engineering leadership and customers
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience on Army ground vehicle programs (Stryker, JLTV, AMPV, Abrams or similar) or with DEVCOM GVSC
• Familiarity with VICTORY, CMOSS or other open‑architecture standards for vehicles
• Experience architecting a product line or platform that ships in multiple variants
• Experience with vehicle power distribution, power conversion or energy storage design
• Experience with Cameo or another SysML tool
• Hands‑on experience with harnessing, lab instruments and vehicle integration builds
• Active U.S. Secret security clearance
