Power Systems Architect, Expeditionary AI/HPC Data Center Infrastructure

Job description

Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) is building AI Factories and Command/Control centers—specialized, high-performance computing centers designed to process petabyte-scale data and convert it into decisions at machine speed from forward operating bases. These are not traditional data centers. They are air-transportable, power-constrained, hardened systems optimized for AI inference at the tactical edge and deeply integrated with Lattice. We are seeking a Power Systems Architect to design and build these tactical AI/HPC data centers from the ground up. This is a new and highest priority role.

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S.

Job responsibilities

  • Power Distribution and Infrastructure design: Lead end-to-end electrical power design for AI/HPC data centers, including medium-voltage (MV) distribution, substations, switchgear, UPS systems, BESS, PDUs, busways, and…
  • Power High-Density Compute: Engineer power infrastructure specifically for NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, GB200, etc.), including coordination with liquid cooling systems, CDUs, and evolving rack power densities.
  • Plan Power Topology: Design and specify utility interconnects, generator plants, ATS, paralleling switchgear, transformers, and backup power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundant) to meet Tier III/IV and Uptime…
  • Load Analysis & Modeling: Perform short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, and coordination studies using SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower. Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and detailed construction documents.
  • Architect power systems supporting utility-scale requirements in expeditionary environments—integrating generators, energy storage, intelligent distribution, and load management. MW+ scale distribution.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, controls, network, and hardware engineering teams to align electrical design with cooling, structural, and compute deployment plans.
  • Architect a microgrid for 1MW to 10MW data center installations in environments where grid power is not always guaranteed so large scale generator or battery backup systems are necessary to maintain uptime.
  • Design high voltage power systems that meet safety standards and requirements to be deployed in the field.

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
  • 5+ years of experience designing and deploying grid scale MV/LV infrastructure
  • Experience with 15kV–35kV MV systems and multi-MW power delivery
  • Experienced in MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, switchboards, generators, UPS systems, batteries, PDUs, RPPs, busway, PSUs, grounding, bonding, and protection systems.
  • Proven track record building and deploying production infrastructure from concept through operational scale
  • Systems thinking ability to optimize across competing constraints (performance, power, thermal, weight, cost, reliability)
  • U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship may be required)
