Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced autonomous systems, AI, and computer vision. The Maritime Division is scaling production of critical submarine components and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) at a historic pace, anchored by Arsenal-2, a new software-defined shipyard in Baltimore County, Maryland, supported by a $6.6 billion investment in America's submarine industrial base.
You will own the complete energy storage system design for a maritime autonomous vehicle, reporting to the Vehicle Systems Lead. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will drive cell selection, module design, thermal management, and pressure-rated packaging for battery systems that must deliver ultra-long-range endurance under extreme pressure conditions. You will leverage both technical expertise and leadership skills to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and rapidly drive projects to completion.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own energy storage architecture: cell chemistry selection, module design, and pack integration
- Design pressure-rated battery enclosures for full-ocean-depth operation
- Perform battery sizing, energy budget analysis, and cycle life modeling
- Drive thermal management design for safe operation across environmental conditions
- Define charging profiles and integration with external charging interfaces
- Interface with energy distribution, structural, and production teams
- Support prototype builds, testing, and design-for-manufacturability reviews
- Contribute to safety analysis for energy storage systems
- Travel up to 25% to test sites and vendor facilities
The role is based at Anduril's 160,000 square foot Proto-Factory in Orange County, California, which serves as the prototyping hub for Arsenal-2, proving out advanced manufacturing methods, digital workflows, and quality systems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent
- 5+ years of experience in battery system design, energy storage, or power electronics
- Experience with lithium-ion or equivalent high-energy-density battery systems
- Familiarity with battery management systems and thermal management
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with marine or subsea battery systems
- Working knowledge of battery safety standards (UN38.3, IEC 62619, or military equivalents)
- Experience with pressure-rated enclosure design
- Familiarity with battery modeling and simulation tools
- Experience in defense or maritime robotics
