## Description

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

Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) is building AI Factories and Command/Control centers,specialized, high-performance computing centers designed to process petabyte-scale data and convert it into decisions at machine speed from forward operating bases.

We are seeking a Power Systems Architect to design and build these tactical AI/HPC data centers from the ground up. This is a new and highest priority role. You will help architect the complete electrical infrastructure,MV/LV power distribution, transformer selection, switchgear, UPS system, and rack level power delivery infrastructure,that enables AI processing in austere, contested, and DDIL (degraded/denied/intermittent/limited) environments.

## Responsibilities

- Power Distribution and Infrastructure design: Lead end-to-end electrical power design for AI/HPC data centers, including medium-voltage (MV) distribution, substations, switchgear, UPS systems, BESS, PDUs, busways, and rack-level power delivery for high-density GPU racks.

- Power High-Density Compute: Engineer power infrastructure specifically for NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, GB200, etc.), including coordination with liquid cooling systems, CDUs, and evolving rack power densities.

- Plan Power Topology: Design and specify utility interconnects, generator plants, ATS, paralleling switchgear, transformers, and backup power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundant) to meet Tier III/IV and Uptime Institute standards.

- Load Analysis & Modeling: Perform short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, and coordination studies using SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower. Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and detailed construction documents.

- Architect power systems supporting utility-scale requirements in expeditionary environments,integrating generators, energy storage, intelligent distribution, and load management. MW+ scale distribution.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, controls, network, and hardware engineering teams to align electrical design with cooling, structural, and compute deployment plans.

- Architect a microgrid for 1MW to 10MW data center installations in environments where grid power is not always guaranteed so large scale generator or battery backup systems are necessary to maintain uptime.

- Design high voltage power systems that meet safety standards and requirements to be deployed in the field.

- Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible.

- Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments,extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening.

- Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements and needs into technical architectures.

## Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.

- 5+ years of experience designing and deploying grid scale MV/LV infrastructure.

- Experience with 15kV–35kV MV systems and multi-MW power delivery.

- Experienced in MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, switchboards, generators, UPS systems, batteries, PDUs, RPPs, busway, PSUs, grounding, bonding, and protection systems.

- Proven track record building and deploying production infrastructure from concept through operational scale.

- Systems thinking ability to optimize across competing constraints (performance, power, thermal, weight, cost, reliability).

- U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee).

- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship may be required).

- Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Professional Engineer (PE) license.

- Experience designing hyperscale or AI data centers.

- Deep knowledge of MIL-STD-3071, NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and Uptime Institute standards.

- Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in relevant engineering discipline.

- Holds Active Secret Clearance or higher.

- Experience with tactical military systems, ruggedized computing, or deployable infrastructure in austere or contested environments.

- Knowledge of military environmental standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461) and expeditionary deployability requirements.

- Experience with modular power systems, rack-level conversion, BESS, HVDC/LVDC, or other advanced power architectures.

- Strong understanding of codes, standards, utility coordination, safety requirements, and AHJ processes.

- Hands-on experience with containerized or modular data center designs (ISO containers, mobile facilities).

- Experience with expeditionary or forward operating base (FOB) power infrastructure.
