Lead Electrical Architect - Expeditionary AI/HPC Data Centers

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. ABOUT THE JOB Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) is building AI Factories and Command/Control centers—specialized, high-performance computing centers designed to process petabyte-scale data and convert it into decisions at machine speed from forward operating bases. These are not traditional data centers. They are air-transportable, power-constrained, hardened systems optimized for AI inference at the tactical edge and deeply integrated with Lattice. We are seeking highly experienced Lead Electrical Architects to play a pivotal role in defining and shaping the electrical architecture for our product lines. These roles will bridge the critical gap between high-level systems concepts and detailed electrical design, ensuring robust, scalable, and manufacturable solutions for our advanced defense systems. You will be instrumental in translating strategic Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) into actionable electrical requirements and architecture that will guide the entire product development lifecycle. Exact candidate title and leveling to be determined based upon technical acumen, professional experience, leadership ability, and assessed capabilities through the interview process. WHAT YOU'LL DO 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.
