About this role

Anduril is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to serve as the technical bridge between hardware and software subsystems on autonomous tactical reconnaissance vehicles. You'll drive cross-functional problem-solving, build predictive reliability models, define test strategies, and ensure field-ready systems with a clear pathway to Chief Engineering leadership.

What you'll do

Own cross-functional integration between mechanical, electrical, software, and test teams to ensure hardware-software performance meets program goals
Build reliability models and system performance simulations to predict real-world behavior and inform qualification strategies
Define subsystem testing plans, acceptance criteria, and on-the-line validation to prevent costly field rework
Develop weight, inertia, latency, and performance budgets; make architectural trade-offs between capability, cost, and schedule
Debug cross-system issues spanning perception, localization, planning, controls, and sensor integration; prototype solutions in simulation
Track hardware configuration changes from PDR through CDR to shipment and interface with Growth team on requirements iteration

What they're looking for

Systems engineering and cross-functional integration
Reliability modeling and failure analysis
Hardware-software co-design and debugging
Test planning, qualification, and acceptance criteria definition
Aerospace or robotics development experience
Technical leadership and influence without authority
Simulation and modeling tools
Configuration management and program tracking

Benefits

Clear pathway to Chief Engineering leadership roles
Hands-on technical work with cutting-edge autonomous systems
Cross-disciplinary learning across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
Work on defense technology with real-world impact
Collaborative culture that values action over documentation
Located in Costa Mesa, California
