TL;DR · Technical Lead, Containerized Command & Control

JOB TITLE: Technical Lead - Containerized Command & Control The Technical Lead - Containerized Command & Control joins the Anduril Expeditionary Systems team to define and shape the electrical architecture for AI Factories and deployable command and control centers. This role bridges systems and electrical engineering by translating high-level concepts into detailed electrical requirements and functional modules. You will own the end-to-end architecture for air-transportable, modular systems designed for austere, contested environments. Key responsibilities include conducting architectural trades, leading prototyping, and managing full-cycle electronics design. You will utilize knowledge of MCUs, CPUs, FPGAs, PCBA design, and harnessing. The work focuses on building high-performance, power-constrained computing centers capable of processing petabyte-scale data for AI inference at the tactical edge, ensuring infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements for hardened, mobile, and containerized data centers.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end electrical architecture for AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command centers.
  • Translate high-level Concepts of Operations into detailed electrical requirements, architectures, and functional modules.
  • Design air-transportable, modular systems optimized for rapid deployment in austere and contested environments.
  • Build infrastructure capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, limited grid power, and electromagnetic interference.
  • Partner with defense customers to convert operational needs into technical architectures.
  • Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments.
  • Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to ensure architectural alignment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products.
  • Proven ability to define long-term architectural vision and lead cross-functional teams on complex electronics projects.
  • Experience with full-cycle ECU/LRU electronics design, including PCBA design, harnessing design, and connector selection.
  • Familiarity with embedded systems hardware including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs.
  • U.S. Person status is required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee).
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
  • Background in 3-phase power, tactical military systems, or ruggedized computing (preferred).
