Senior Systems Engineer, Marine Corp Vehicles
Job description
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 JOB
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 own systems engineering under contract, from award through production. You'll turn contract requirements into a design baseline and deliver the engineering data the contract calls for. You'll lead the technical content of formal reviews and show the government, through test and analysis, that the system meets the contract. You'll also run configuration control on the baseline as the design matures and moves into production.
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.

- Plan and run verification against the contract, and support government developmental and operational testing.
- Act as the main technical contact for government engineering counterparts.
- Coordinate the division's shared safety, reliability and cybersecurity engineers to meet the program's safety release, reliability and cybersecurity requirements.
- Track and manage technical risk with the program lead and chief engineer.
- Prepare the design for production with manufacturing and supply chain.

- Comfortable as the technical face of a program to a government customer
