AI in this role
Lead technical integrations and system design for defense operating systems and distributed command architectures.
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 TEAM Connected Warfare is one of Anduril's Business Lines focused on building a next-gen software-defined distributed C2 architecture focused on orchestrating and automating 3rd party combat-fielded sensors and strike-networks for synchronized joint operations. We work with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC. The Army & Enterprise Mesh engineering team is responsible for the mesh at scale — managing and optimizing it from a single node to the enterprise, in any connectivity environment. We build the platform services and applications that run on top of it. Solution Engineering sits inside this engineering team. We lead the design of solutions that span multiple engineering teams and multiple companies, and we publish the reference patterns that subsequent integrations are built from.ABOUT THE JOB
We are looking for a Systems Engineer to support the US Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program.
You will lead the technical engagements that bring new partners onto the platform: conducting technical exchanges with their engineering teams, establishing the integration design, decomposing the resulting requirements into engineering work, and authoring the reference material other teams build from. Most of this work is conducted across an organizational boundary, without shared reporting lines or a shared backlog. WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead partner engagements end to end; Conduct the technical exchange, own the integration design, and drive open items to written resolution across both organizations.
- Design across organizational boundaries; Own the problems that span several engineering teams and more than one company, where no single team owns the answer. You lead through design, orchestration, and proof of concept.
- Establish reusable patterns; Convert what recurs across engagements into reference architectures, decision guidance, and integration documentation, and define the standard other teams document to.
- Own the intake process; Translate partner and field needs into scoped, prioritized engineering work, and return a documented decision on each request.
- Scale onboarding across the Army; Identify where integration and onboarding depend on individual intervention, and establish the automated or self-service paths that allow every Army formation and industry partner to onboard without one.
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- Educational Background: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
- Experience: 3+ years in systems engineering, solutions architecture, integration engineering, technical program management, or forward-deployed engineering.
- Architecture judgment in API- and service-based systems: Demonstrated ability to design and critique a REST or gRPC integration, an authentication flow (OIDC, service credentials, secretless), a schema or data contract, and an event stream. Reads specifications and source code fluently.
- Ownership across an organizational boundary: Experience as the technical lead to an external engineering team, or as the owner of a developer-facing platform surface with external or internal customers.
- Technical program execution: Demonstrated ability to conduct a technical working session, hold a substantive technical position within it, document the resulting decisions, and track outstanding commitments on both sides.
- Technical writing: Reference architectures and integration guides an engineer can follow to completion. A writing sample is required.
- Communication across audiences: Demonstrated ability to convey the same technical decision to a partner's engineering team and to a senior military stakeholder.
- Service in, or direct support of, US Army organizations, including a working understanding of how a unit adopts new software.
- DoD delivery experience: accreditation and authorization processes, multiple classification enclaves, and operation in disconnected or bandwidth-constrained
environments. - Co-development experience with a defense prime, systems integrator, or defense technology company on a jointly delivered capability.
- Developer experience work: documentation as a product, SDKs, developer portals, onboarding automation.
- Domain fluency in command and control, geospatial systems, data fabrics, tactical networking, or sensor-to-effector integration.
