Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Expeditionary Systems team designs and delivers containerized command centers, datacenter-strength AI capabilities, launched effects, and sensing systems for US and Allied militaries.

We're seeking a Systems Engineer to join a lean, high-output team where every engineer has direct impact on fielded products. You'll own systems engineering across the full lifecycle , from concept and architecture through integration, test, and deployment , on products that go to real units in real operational environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Systems Architecture & Design
  • Develop system architectures and lead design trades across mechanical, electrical, software, thermal, and power domains.
  • Decompose operational needs into system and subsystem requirements with clear traceability, testability, and allocation.
  • Create and maintain systems engineering artifacts including ICDs, system block diagrams, ConOps, and requirements specifications.
  • Drive SWaP, transportability, survivability, and human factors trades that shape the product from day one.
  • Lead and support design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with technical rigor and cross-functional alignment.
  • Integration, Verification & Validation
  • Own verification and validation planning and execution across analysis, inspection, demonstration, and test.
  • Support system integration activities, troubleshooting cross-discipline issues as hardware, software, and firmware come together.
  • Conduct FMEA/FMECA and manage technical risk throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Support environmental qualification campaigns (thermal, vibration, shock, EMI/EMC, transportation).
  • Travel to field exercises, deployments, and customer sites to validate system performance, support operators, and bring feedback back to the design team.
  • Documentation & Process
  • Develop and maintain Technical Data Packages (TDPs), Systems Engineering Management Plans (SEMPs), and program documentation.
  • Utilize modern systems engineering tools (Cameo, MBSE/SysML, Jama, DOORS) to model architectures, manage requirements, and maintain traceability.
  • Build documentation that enables customers to operate, maintain, and sustain Anduril products in the field without on-site support.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable MIL-STDs and defense standards.

Qualifications:

  • Required:
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related technical discipline.
  • 2-6 years of systems engineering experience in a complex, multidisciplinary environment.
  • Experience developing, documenting, and maturing systems from design through production or fielding.
  • Ability to work across engineering disciplines , comfortable engaging with mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams.
  • Strong requirements development and documentation skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication.
  • U.S. citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Preferred:
  • Active Secret or TS/SCI clearance.
  • Experience with containerized, expeditionary, or ruggedized military systems.
  • Familiarity with military standards (MIL-STD-461, -810, -1275, -1316, -1760).
  • Experience with systems engineering tools: Cameo, MBSE/SysML, DOORS, Jama.
  • Experience with weapon system integration, launch systems, C2 systems, or high-performance compute platforms.
  • Exposure to rapid prototyping and hardware delivery on compressed timelines.
  • Field support or deployment experience with military end users.
  • Master's degree in Systems Engineering or related field.
