Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
We're seeking a dynamic Staff Systems Engineer who can break the mold and redefine how we develop mission-critical counter-UAS systems at the tactical edge. This project is a complex, multi-domain product — tightly coupling precision optics, computer vision, embedded compute, actuators, laser subsystems, and kinetic effector integration into a single warfighter-portable anti-UAV system. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or another technical discipline
- 8+ years of systems engineering experience, preferably with exposure to rapid product development environments
- Track record of delivering complex multi-domain electro-mechanical systems — ideally spanning optics, sensors, actuators, embedded compute, and software
- Experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver against aggressive schedules
- Hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, and integration experience — comfortable moving between CAD, lab bench, and field test
- Experience owning verification and validation across the full product lifecycle, including environmental qualification (shock, vibration, thermal, sealing)
More about this role
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
Anduril's Warfighter Systems division is building the next generation of counter-UAS engagement systems. We are developing an anti-UAV kinetic response system that fuses real-time computer vision, sensor data, and onboard processing to dramatically increase first-round effectiveness against hostile drones. By pushing advanced CV algorithms into ultra-constrained compute environments, we are delivering a decisive edge at the tactical level. This team operates at the...
