About the role

Senior role focused on defining and managing architectures for complex hardware/software systems within Anduril’s Intelligence Systems to support IC customers, including model-driven design, requirements traceability, and system-level design reviews.

Responsibilities

  • Define and document system architectures for complex hardware/software systems, including functional decomposition, interface definition, and allocation of requirements to hardware, software, and firmware elements.
  • Establish and maintain traceability between requirements, designs, and tests to ensure the final product meets the specified requirements.
  • Collaborate with a fast-paced and quick reaction hardware and software design and development team.
  • Build, develop and integrate system models; incorporating inputs from stakeholder requirements, interface documentation, and related design and systems engineering documents.
  • Own the system model as the authoritative source of design intent - structure, behavior, interfaces, and requirements allocation - using next-generation agentic modeling tools rather than traditional desktop MBSE suites.
  • Lead system-level design reviews, internally and externally and own the technical baseline coming out of them.

Qualifications

  • Strong engineering foundation in a core discipline such as software engineering, hardware design, or FPGA development.
  • 6+ years of experience documenting and developing system requirements in support of new product design, development and testing.
  • Experience as a lead system architect for complex hardware and software systems, owning the architecture decisions from concept to execution.
  • Experience developing system architectures and design artifacts for products spanning hardware, software, and firmware.
  • Hands-on experience with system modeling tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler, including familiarity with SysML v1.x and/or v2.0, and a willingness to learn and adopt next-generation agentic system modeling tools.
  • Demonstrated experience optimizing engineering workflows and processes - including building automated workflows (e.g., requirements/model synchronization, traceability checks, document generation, CI-driven verification) to reduce manual effort and increase engineering throughput.
  • Demonstrated ability to decompose complex systems with competing objectives (e.g., performance, schedule, openness, cybersecurity) into executable requirements and execution then delivering on those to meet government expectations.
  • Strong technical communication skills, providing the ability to deliver critical technical briefings and conclusions to technical leadership, company leadership, and customers.
  • Ability to influence without formal authority across hardware, software, and firmware disciplines.
  • Currently possesses and is able to maintain at least an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
