Job description

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril Ground Maneuver is the business line that brings Anduril's sensors, effectors, communications, command and control, and Lattice to military ground vehicles. Our work covers wheeled and tracked platforms, from light tactical vehicles to armored 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 Marine Corps program of record built on Menace-X, Anduril’s vehicle-mounted command and control system. You’ll own systems engineering under contract, from award through production. You’ll turn contract requirements into a design baseline and deliver the engineering data the contract calls for. You’ll lead the technical content of formal reviews and show the government, through test and analysis, that the system meets the contract. You’ll also run configuration control on the baseline as the design matures and moves into production.

You’ll be the main technical contact for your government engineering counterparts and will spend time with them at reviews, test events and on site. You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, software and test engineers, and with the division’s safety, reliability and cybersecurity engineers. Experience on a vehicle program of record is valuable in this role. You’ll report to the Ground Maneuver Chief Engineer and work day to day with the program lead.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own systems engineering on the program from contract award through production.
• Break contract requirements down into system and subsystem requirements, and maintain the requirements verification traceability matrix.
• Plan and deliver the engineering data the contract requires (CDRLs), including the systems engineering plan, ICDs, test plans and test reports.
• Lead the technical content of formal reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR and production readiness reviews), and close out the actions they produce.
• Run configuration management: own the technical baseline, chair or support the change control board, and support configuration audits.
• Plan and run verification against the contract, and support government developmental and operational testing.
• Act as the main technical contact for government engineering counterparts.
• Coordinate the division’s shared safety, reliability and cybersecurity engineers to meet the program’s safety release, reliability and cybersecurity requirements.
• Track and manage technical risk with the program lead and chief engineer.
• Prepare the design for production with manufacturing and supply chain.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• B.S. in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
• 7+ years of systems engineering experience, including leading systems engineering on a DoD program under contract
• Experience delivering CDRLs to a government customer and leading formal design reviews
• Experience with configuration management and change control on a contracted baseline
• Experience planning and running verification for government acceptance, including developmental or operational testing
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-882E, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-1275
• Comfortable as the technical face of a program to a government customer
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to travel up to 25% for test events and customer sites
• Must hold an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience on Marine Corps programs or with Marine Corps Systems Command
• Experience with vehicle-mounted command and control, communications or networking systems
• Experience taking a program from development into production
