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) through Arsenal-2, a new software-defined shipyard in Baltimore County, Maryland, backed by a $6.6 billion investment in America's submarine industrial base. Development and prototyping work is underway at Anduril's 160,000 square-foot Proto-Factory in Orange County, California.
In this role, you will own the complete Energy subsystem for a maritime autonomous vehicle, driving architecture and development from concept through production. Reporting to the Vehicle Systems Lead, you will maximize vehicle endurance and power reliability by setting architecture for battery systems, power distribution, energy management, and charging interfaces. Your responsibilities span diverse technical and leadership dimensions: you will leverage both technical expertise and leadership skills to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and rapidly drive completion of highly optimized multi-disciplinary projects.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own energy subsystem architecture: storage, distribution, management, regulation, and external charging
- Drive design and development of energy storage systems for ultra-long-range autonomous operation
- Drive power distribution and bus architecture across the vehicle
- Own energy regulation systems ensuring safe and efficient power delivery to all subsystems
- Design external charging interfaces and solutions for rapid turnaround
- Manage energy budget and power allocation across all consuming subsystems
- Define electrical interfaces between energy subsystem and other vehicle systems
- Manage subsystem schedule and cost performance across prototype, LRIP (Low-Rate Initial Production), and FRP (Full-Rate Production) phases
- Provide technical mentorship to engineers across energy disciplines
- Drive design-for-manufacturability in coordination with Production
- Represent the energy subsystem in technical and customer meetings
- Interface with Vehicle Systems Lead and Chief Engineer on technical decisions
- Travel up to 25% to test sites and customer locations
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Engineering, or equivalent
- 5+ years of experience in energy or power systems for marine, aerospace, or robotic systems
- Experience taking energy or power systems through full product development cycles
- Demonstrated experience with battery systems, power electronics, or energy management
- Experience transitioning designs from prototype to production
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with large-format battery systems (lithium-ion or equivalent)
- Working knowledge of high-voltage power systems in marine or defense applications
- Experience with power distribution for autonomous vehicles
- Familiarity with safety standards for energy storage systems
- Experience in defense or maritime robotics
