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

Anduril Engineers in the Connected Warfare (CW) Division work across disciplines to build, deploy, integrate, extend, and scale Anduril's software and hardware systems to deliver mission-critical capabilities to our customers at the tactical edge. As the engineers closest to customers/end-users, ECC NEXT Engineers are designed to solve technical challenges of operational scenarios while owning the end-to-end delivery of winning capabilities to bring new capabilities from zero to one.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Network Architect on the Edge Compute and Comms (ECC) NEXT Engineering team, you will combine industry leading commercial technologies with legacy military systems to rapidly prototype and create new products and solutions to address a wide variety of customer problems involving software, hardware, networking, autonomy/robotics, systems integration, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril and 3P products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes. Above all, ECC Engineers are driven by a “Whatever It Takes” mindset—executing in an expedient, scalable, and methodical way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes correctly, on-time, and with high quality. You will work on new technology introduction and enhancing products like the Menace Family of Systems to bring integrated C4 (Compute, Comms, Command, and Control) capabilities to the tactical edge.
Our C4 systems must function in highly dynamic and adversarial environments where nodes have varying states of link quality & availability, have frequently changing network topologies and are under constant threat of interference ranging from electronic warfare to physical destruction. In addition, our assets are deployed to austere combat zones which do not have the well-developed network infrastructure which most network solutions rely on. Our challenge is to provide networking software and hardware systems that provide reliability, resilience, speed and security in these challenging environments.
We are looking for an highly organized, growth mindset, hands-on, Network Architect to design, prototype, build and collaborate with cross functional engineering and business development teams to exceed customer expectations and bring new products and capabilities to market.
