Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology, AI, autonomy, and computer vision. The Technical Security (TechSec) team protects people, physical assets, and proprietary innovations by designing, procuring, and deploying robust technical security infrastructure across global sites.
The Technical Security Application Engineer is a hands-on technical role responsible for the installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and maintenance of physical access control systems (PACS) and video surveillance systems (VMS) across Anduril's sites, with particular focus on Southern California.
