Systems Engineer
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.
Strategic Defense protects the United States and its allies from ballistic, hypersonic, andair-breathing threats. Those threats now arrive in seconds, maneuver mid-flight, and comein volleys designed to overwhelm the legacy systems meant to stop them — so we'rebuilding a software-defined command and control layer that can see, decide, and act faster than any human operator could alone. Our team spans autonomy, tracking, simulation andwargaming, hardware, systems engineering, and test and evaluation to build an accredited fire control system fielded rapidly and at scale.
