Energy Systems Lead

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.

The Maritime Energy Systems Lead will be responsible for working across all Anduril Maritime products to identify energy demands, and manage development efforts to meet those needs. This individual will be responsible for maintaining and executing against the energy tech roadmap, progressing current energy systems forward through additional capability development efforts as well as certification efforts, including UN38.3 and NAVSEA 9310. The Maritime Energy Systems Lead will lead multi-disciplinary efforts, both internal and with third party vendors, and will be asked to be the technical authority on all energy systems used across Anduril Maritime products.

The Maritime Energy Systems Lead will need to facilitate effective technical development and integration that spans company-boundaries through an agile development approach in the context of a continuous integration/continuous deployment paradigm, while managing required testing and documentation in support of shipping and use certifications. They will need to balance development of new capabilities with the incorporation of several pre-existing Anduril capabilities and need to effectively communicate development status to Anduril internal stakeholders, partners, and customers.

The Maritime Energy Systems Lead, in conjunction with the Chief Engineer, Maritime, will assist in building out the necessary infrastructure for Anduril to execute on all necessary aspects of conceptualization, design, development, testing, and certification of multiple kinds of energy systems for the use across Anduril Maritime Division’s products as we grow rapidly and adapts to market needs.
