Tactical Network & Mission Systems Engineer, Maritime

About this role

Anduril seeks a Tactical Network & Mission Systems Engineer to design and build the unified network architecture connecting autonomous maritime platforms across undersea, surface, and aerial domains. This hands-on role involves implementing software-defined networking solutions that integrate acoustic modems, tactical RF, satellite backhaul, and classified multinational cloud infrastructure for coordinated warfighting at scale.

What you'll do

• Design and implement network infrastructure, SDN control planes, and transport solutions for maritime autonomous systems
• Build cross-domain connectivity spanning acoustic modems, tactical RF, satellite backhaul, and classified networks
• Work cross-functionally with platform teams to write code, establish common interfaces, and solve integration challenges
• Develop networking solutions for contested/degraded environments including mesh networks and graceful degradation under link loss
• Support operational exercises and at-sea demonstrations to validate integrated network capability
• Architect and document patterns that enable other engineers to contribute to the networking layer at scale

What they're looking for

• Network engineering and software-defined networking (SDN)
• Distributed communications systems and tactical network design
• Full network stack knowledge (physical layer, transport protocols, orchestration)
• Autonomous systems and unmanned platform networking
• Military/defense networking standards (HAIPE, Type 1 crypto, cross-domain solutions)
• Hands-on coding, infrastructure configuration, and production debugging
• Cross-functional collaboration and problem-solving
• Experience with unreliable/contested connectivity environments
