Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers, and is building next-generation Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to redefine underwater operations.
As a Senior Systems Engineer on the Maritime team, you will own cross-functional coordination between the program and internal support groups (production, platform tooling), shifting the team from reactive to proactive interfacing. You will establish and maintain configuration management practices that enable rapid iteration without sacrificing rigor, and lead requirements generation, analysis, and verification—finding the balance between structure and speed with strong technical justification.
Key responsibilities include:
- Drive qualification testing, design-build-test (DBT), integration verification, and acceptance testing activities
- Perform root cause and corrective action analysis for issues found during integration and test; adjust manufacturing test procedures as needed
- Maintain vehicle architecture documentation, interface definitions, and traceability across the product lifecycle
- Work across business lines and product teams to build consensus, minimize silos, and align on shared objectives
- Support sea operations, strategic technical planning, risk management, and proposal efforts as needed
You will work closely with program leadership and cross-departmental teams to solve hard problems and help build the next generation of autonomous systems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 7+ years in systems engineering, integration & test, or platform architecture
- Electromechanical hardware experience; able to troubleshoot across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries
- Demonstrated skill in root cause and corrective action methodologies
- Software literacy: can read and analyze code (Rust, Python, or C), understand dependencies, and engage in systematic analysis
- Experience working within requirements frameworks—with the judgment to adapt them and the discipline to justify changes
- Strong cross-functional collaborator: builds consensus, understands others' processes, compromises between competing priorities
- Excellent communication and organizational skills; brings structure to ambiguous, fast-paced environments
- Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
- Ability to travel ~10%
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with qualification testing, DBT cycles, or configuration management for products transitioning to production
- Background in robotics, autonomous systems, medical devices, or high-volume electromechanical products
- Defense experience (welcome but not required)
- Proficiency with data analysis tools (Python, MATLAB, R, SQL) or requirements management software (e.g., JAMA)
- Experience with Linux, command line interfaces, and software debugging
