Systems Safety Engineering and Analysis

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.We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high-volume production methods—delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers & hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from autonomous aerial systems to high-performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment.

As a Systems Engineer at Anduril, you will be a pivotal force in the Tactical Recon & Strike division, working on cutting-edge products like Altius, Anvil, Bolt, and Ghost. This role demands a proactive problem-solver with a strong background in electrical engineering, systems engineering principles and safety-critical development. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are passionate about building revolutionary defense technology from the ground up, we encourage you to apply.

Partner with functional engineering teams to drive architectural design for safety, reliability, usability, modularity, upgradability, maintainability, and diagnosability into systems, subsystems, and interfaces.

Drive system & subsystem requirements with functional engineering teams, defining risk reduction and verification & validation strategies for system of systems as well as subsystem assemblies.

Execute and manage System Hazard Analyses (SHAs) and subsystem Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FME(C)As) to drive safety and reliability centric requirements

Coordinate and execute test events involving various levels of system integration from in-lab software simulations to flight test.

Interpret & apply key industry & defense standard requirements for safety and interoperability, e.g. Demonstrate strong ownership, acting as a trusted technical partner to functional engineers and leaders across the organization.

Autonomously lead and execute complex technical initiatives based on high-level goals from internal engineering, program office, and third-party partners, successfully delivering outcomes across multiple programs simultaneously.
