Systems Integration 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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Systems Engineer on the Tactical Reconnaissance Systems (TRS) team, you will bridge subsystems, ensuring hardware and software performance, reliability, and integration meet our aggressive program goals. This role goes beyond traditional requirements management—you’ll drive cross‑functional problem‑solving, build predictive models, define test strategies, and ensure we deliver reliable systems to the field without costly rework. It offers a clear pathway toward Chief Engineering leadership, balancing system‑level thinking with hands‑on execution and program‑management skills.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Hardware & Software Assurance Own cross‑functional integration between Mechanical, GNC, Aero, Electrical, and Beacon teams with DevTest and Analysts Drive scientifically rigorous subsystem and component‑level testing before full system integration and flight tests Define and execute vehicle qualification strategy and inform vehicle acceptance criteria Ensure P95 reliability goals through proactive test planning and validation Align software scope of work with overall program goals Adapt software sprints and architecture based on program priorities and customer requirements System Modeling & Performance Analysis Build all‑up reliability models from subsystem testing data and forward modeling Develop system models that capture performance‑cost tradeoffs (e.g., wing stiffness impact on performance vs. manufacturing cost) Define payload weight and inertia budgets with precision Develop latency budgets and performance envelopes for software subsystems Establish ATP bounds for hardware based on derived performance and reliability targets Make architectural decisions that balance capability, schedule, and technical risk Requirements & Customer Interface Interface regularly with Growth to iterate on requirements and system architecture Focus on GSE, logistics, and end‑user experience requirements Iterate on autonomy behaviors to meet Growth demands and build up capabilities for near‑term commitments Drive flow‑down analysis per vehicle subsystem to inform testing requirements Cross‑Subsystem Problem Solving Dive deep into problems spanning hardware and software subsystems (perception, localization, planning, controls, sensor/servo integration) Spin up mission‑simulation environments, debug cross‑system issues, and prototype solutions Develop mission profiles and validate them in simulation environments Correlate and extrapolate real‑world test data through system modeling Unblock teams by bridging gaps between software engineering and hardware constraints Configuration Management & Program Execution Track hardware deltas from PDR → CDR → Shipment Ensure proper hardware delivery and test tracking across the program Sit in software sprints and unblock teams through systems‑level thinking Follow up on derived performance and reliability targets for all subsystems Define on‑line testing that ensures field performance

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

3–5+ years of experience in aerospace, robotics, or defense systems development Experience across multiple disciplines (hardware and software subsystems) Strong foundation in system‑level testing, qualification, and reliability analysis Ability to make architectural decisions and drive cross‑functional problem‑solving Hands‑on problem solver with bias toward action over documentation Ability to influence without authority across engineering teams Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Defense industry experience or familiarity with MIL‑STDs UAV/UAS or autonomous platform experience Background in design and test engineering Experience with system modeling, reliability analysis, or MBSE tools Exposure to program management or technical leadership Advanced degree in a relevant engineering discipline Experience with embedded systems, ROS, or GNC software US Salary Range $146,000 – $194,000 USD (base salary only). Highly competitive equity grants are part of Anduril’s total compensation package. Benefits At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) supports health, recovery, and whatever comes next. #J-18808-Ljbffr Anduril Industries
