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 real-time, 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.
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our team at our Costa Mesa HQ. In this role, you will work on core product development for complex systems, including optical systems, batteries, mechanisms, control systems, and sensors. You will execute rapid evaluations of engineering concepts, perform physics-based analysis on blue-sky problems, and manage internal and external market research. The position demands high ownership and frequent collaboration with other core disciplines, requiring you to wear many hats while maintaining a practical, hands-on approach.
You will lead design reviews, run analysis, visit vendors, and define and execute hardware test plans. Your work will involve building prototypes, analyzing failures, and transitioning successful projects into production. You will support critical hardware demonstrations with customers and travel to test sites as needed. This role offers high growth potential and additional leadership opportunities for those who are self-starters capable of operating with significant professional autonomy.
To apply, please submit your resume and relevant portfolio materials through our careers portal. Candidates who move forward will engage in a multi-stage interview process designed to assess technical depth, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit. This typically includes a technical deep-dive, system design discussions, and team interviews. All candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
