Senior Systems Engineer, Edge Compute and Communications

$113k - $149k

Colorwave Inc

Systems Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Team and Role Overview

Anduril's Edge Compute and Communications (ECC) team is seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer to join our dynamic team responsible for producing and maturing a diverse array of command and control ground systems products that are deployed across the entire military echelon. These products are:

  • Deployable TSCIF/SAPF certified self-contained shelters (Menace-I)
  • Expeditionary vehicle & on-the-move form factors (Menace-X)
  • Human-portable, roll-on/roll-off form factors (Menace-T)
  • Rugged Edge Compute, Comms, Chassis (Voyager)

This role is ideal for a traditional systems engineer who thrives in a documentation and data-intensive environment, and who is excited to bridge the gap between hardware, software, electrical, thermal, compliance, and contract disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

Fall into the following three buckets:

  • Systems Integration & Decomposition: Develop and refine system requirements, ensuring robust and testable specifications. Perform detailed system decompositions and validations to integrate multidisciplinary technologies. Collaborate across hardware, software, electrical, thermal, and compliance areas to build systems that meet rigorous military standards.
  • Documentation & Process Development: Create comprehensive engineering documents, including ICDs, validation processes, and performance metrics. Utilize industry tools (e.g., Cameo, MBSC, digital twin frameworks) to produce system views and architectural models. Lead the production of essential documentation and data streams that inform and guide product maturity strategies.
  • Collaboration & Technical Leadership: Interface with Systems Architects and lead disciplines to ensure the day-to-day delivery of baseline system designs. Address and manage technical debt efficiently, operating in the "hot seat" to deliver critical documents and maintain system balance. Ensure systems are production-ready by managing interfaces and ensuring compliance through robust verification and validation strategies.
Qualifications
  • 2-4 years of post-grad professional experience in systems engineering within a complex, multidisciplinary environment.
  • History of successfully developing, documenting, and maturing systems to meet production requirements.
  • Adept at managing technical debt, creating strong requirements, and driving validation processes.
  • Excellent documentation skills and proficiency with tools such as Cameo for modeling and system visualization.
  • Familiarity with military standards and compliance is a plus.

Join us at ECC and play a critical role in shaping the technical foundation that supports our advanced, cutting-edge products. If you're ready to connect the dots across disciplines and drive our systems to production excellence, we'd love you to apply!

US Salary Range $113,000 —$149,000 USD

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including:
