Anduril Industries is seeking a highly experienced Technical Lead – Electrical Architecture to define and shape the electrical architecture for AI Factories and Command/Control centers. These are specialized, high-performance computing centers designed to process petabyte-scale data and convert it into decisions at machine speed from forward operating bases. They are air-transportable, power-constrained, hardened systems optimized for AI inference at the tactical edge and deeply integrated with Lattice OS.
You will own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers, conducting architectural trades that balance performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability. You will bridge the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) into detailed electrical requirements, architectures, and functional modules.
Key responsibilities include:
- 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
- Work in tight coupling with Lattice and AI/ML teams to ensure physical infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements
- Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements into technical architectures
- Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments
- Drive systems from concept through production at scale, working across hardware, software, supply chain, and program teams
- Allocate functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols
- Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
- 5+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products
- Proven ability to think strategically and define the long-term architectural vision for a product line
- Familiarity with embedded systems hardware, including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs, and their architectural implications
- Experience with full-cycle ECU/LRU electronics design, including PCBA design through the entire lifecycle
- Experience with harnessing design and connector selection
- Successful track record of releasing products to production and delivering to end-users at scale
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills to work across diverse engineering disciplines
- Experience leading cross-functional teams on complex electronics projects
- 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
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Background in 3-phase power distribution, MV/LV grid scale power distribution, or EV/HV battery systems
- Has been through at least three full electrical product design cycles from conception to production release
- 8+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products
- 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
- Hands-on experience with containerized or modular data center designs (ISO containers, mobile facilities)
- Experience with expeditionary or forward operating base (FOB) infrastructure
- Knowledge of electromagnetic hardening and operation in GPS-denied or communications-contested environments
- Experience with SCIF design or accreditation for classified environments
- Background in aerospace, defense, autonomous vehicles, EVs, or safety-critical industries with rigorous qualification requirements
- Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in relevant engineering discipline
- Holds Active Secret Clearance or higher
