Senior Systems Engineer, Marine Corp Vehicles

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.

Anduril Ground Maneuver is the business line that brings Anduril's sensors, effectors, communications, command and control, and Lattice to military ground vehicles. Our work covers wheeled and tracked platforms, from light tactical vehicles to armored vehicles. Our customers range from Army and Marine Corps program offices to the units that operate these vehicles in the field.

We're hiring the lead systems engineer for a Marine Corps program of record built on Menace-X, Anduril's vehicle-mounted command and control system.

You'll be the main technical contact for your government engineering counterparts and will spend time with them at reviews, test events and on site. You'll work closely with mechanical, electrical, software and test engineers, and with the division's safety, reliability and cybersecurity engineers. Experience on a vehicle program of record is valuable in this role. You'll report to the Ground Maneuver Chief Engineer and work day to day with the program lead.
