Anduril Industries is seeking a Systems Engineer to join the Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) division, which develops autonomous drones and solid rocket motors for defense applications. You will be a pivotal technical force working on cutting-edge products including Altius, Anvil, Bolt, and Ghost—autonomous aerial systems and propulsion technologies designed for the most demanding military missions.
In this role, you will drive systems thinking and engineering processes across core Anduril products. You'll partner with product leads and functional engineering teams to scope, staff, and deliver capabilities that achieve company milestones. Your responsibilities include architecting system designs for safety, reliability, usability, modularity, and maintainability; defining system and subsystem requirements with verification and validation strategies; executing System Hazard Analyses (SHAs) and Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEAs) to ensure safety and reliability; and coordinating test events from lab simulations to flight tests.
You will interpret and apply defense standards (STANAG, MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-331, MIL-STD-1901A, JOTPs) into engineering processes, act as a trusted technical partner across the organization, and autonomously lead complex technical initiatives across multiple programs. You'll identify and resolve cross-team dependencies and inefficiencies, ensuring requirements align with the capability roadmap for rapid iteration.
Required: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field. 5+ years in defense or safety-critical industries with expertise in safety-critical development standards, reliability and safety fault/hazard analysis, and requirements-driven V&V strategies. Demonstrated proficiency in engineering standards application, writing verifiable system/subsystem/component-level requirements, and conducting safety & reliability analyses (PHAs, SHAs, FMEAs, FTAs). Strong proficiency with systems and Python; familiarity with modern software development practices, unit testing, integration testing, and release processes. Competence with test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, current probes, automation tools).
