About the role

Lead Electrical Architect role within Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) focused on defining and shaping the electrical architecture for AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers, translating CONOPS into actionable electrical requirements and scalable, manufacturable solutions for defense systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers
  • Conduct architectural trades, balancing performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability
  • Bridge the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements, architectures and functional modules
  • Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible
  • Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments—extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening
  • Work in tight coupling with Lattice and AI/ML teams to ensure physical infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements
  • Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements and needs into technical architectures
  • Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments
  • Drive systems from concept through production at scale, working across hardware, software, supply chain, and program teams
  • Allocate functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols
  • Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
  • 5+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products
  • Proven ability to think strategically and define the long-term architectural vision for a product line
  • Familiarity with embedded systems hardware, including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs, and their architectural implications
  • Experience with full-cycle ECU/LRU electronics design, including PCBA design through the entire lifecycle
  • Experience with harnessing design and connector selection
  • Successful track record of releasing products to production and delivering to end-users at scale
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills to work across diverse engineering disciplines
  • Experience leading cross functional teams on complex electronics projects
  • U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship may be required)
  • Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time
