Job Summary

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) is building AI Factories and Command/Control centersspecialized 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 highly experienced Lead Electrical Architects to play a pivotal role in defining and shaping the electrical architecture for our product lines. These roles will bridge the critical gap between high-level systems concepts and detailed electrical design ensuring robust scalable and manufacturable solutions for our advanced defense systems. You will be instrumental in translating strategic Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) into actionable electrical requirements and architecture that will guide the entire product development lifecycle.

Exact candidate title and leveling to be determined based upon technical acumen professional experience leadership ability and assessed capabilities through the interview process.

WHAT YOULL DO
  • Own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers
  • Conduct architectural trades balancing performance manufacturing feasibility and future scalability.
  • Bridge the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements architectures and functional modules.
  • Design air-transportable modular systems (containerized palletized vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible
  • Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environmentsextreme temperatures limited grid power SCIF-accreditable electromagnetic hardening
  • Work in tight coupling with Lattice and AI/ML teams to ensure physical infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements
  • Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements and needs into technical architectures
  • Lead prototyping field testing and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments
  • Drive systems from concept through production at scale working across hardware software supply chain and program teams
  • Allocate functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems defining constraints interfaces and communications protocols.
  • Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering Computer Science Electrical Engineering or related technical field
