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 TEAM Anduril's Air Defense team builds autonomous robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. This team is the nexus of premier Anduril-built products such as Roadrunner, Sentry, Anvil, Pulsar, and Wisp integrated into a software-enabled Air Defense family of systems tailored to the modern battlespace. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, we provide critical force protection capabilities to support the warfighter. Our autonomous family of networked sensors and effectors enables our users to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats that continue to evolve at a rapid pace. ABOUT THE JOB We're seeking a Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT) Lead to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA or Huntsville, AL, supporting the IBCS-M program. IBCS-M is a heavily software-defined system: the majority of "integration" on this program means bringing first-party Anduril systems and third-party partner systems onto the IBCS-M network and data fabric through SDKs, APIs, and secure connectivity, then proving via test that the resulting system performs as required in the field. This role owns that technical thread end to end: driving SDK and interface integration for new 1P and 3P assets, defining and executing the test campaigns that prove the system works, keeping requirements and configuration under control as the system evolves quickly across releases, and leading the program through its major technical gate reviews. You'll work daily across software engineering, test, and field teams, and serve as the primary technical bridge between those teams, program management, and the customer. This role suits someone who thinks in systems, is comfortable owning technical rigor (traceability, baselines, risk) without slowing down a fast-moving software program, and can represent the program credibly in front of both engineers and government stakeholders. The SEIT Lead works closely with the program's Technical Program Manager, who owns sprint cadence, backlog management, field support, and the logistics around test events and reviews — the SEIT Lead owns the technical substance and outcomes of integration, test, baselines, and gate reviews. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Direct integration across the system: Own the physical and functional integration of IBCS-M subsystems, working closely with hardware, software, and vendor teams to ensure components come together into a cohesive, working system. This includes driving SDK, API, and secure-connectivity integration for the program's growing set of first-party Anduril systems (e.g., Vampire, RPS-42, WISP) and third-party partner systems, ensuring each new asset can be reliably onboarded onto the IBCS-M network and data fabric. * Own test planning, execution, and validation: Define the technical test approach, pass/fail criteria, and test procedures needed to prove the system meets operational requirements, and make the engineering call on whether results demonstrate readiness (program office coordinates the logistics around these events). * Maintain technical baselines: Support configuration control, requirements traceability, and risk management across the system lifecycle, ensuring the team is always working against a known, controlled technical baseline. * Lead milestone and gate reviews: Own the technical content and outcome of System Requirements Reviews (SRR), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), Critical Design Reviews (CDR), and Test Readiness Reviews (TRR), determining whether the system is technically ready to proceed at each stage. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS * Minimum of 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, integration, and test, ideally supporting a hardware/software system in a defense, national security, or aerospace environment. * Demonstrated experience leading system integration efforts across multiple engineering disciplines (hardware, software, and/or manufacturing). * Hands-on experience planning, executing, and documenting system-level test campaigns to validate operational requirements. * Experience owning requirements traceability, configuration management, and/or risk management for a complex system program. * Strong written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to represent technical status and decisions to both engineering teams and non-technical or government stakeholders. * Ability to work across hardware, software, and test disciplines and translate between them. * Must be able to obtain a minimum Secret Clearance. * Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Experience with systems engineering in an autonomous systems, robotics, or air defense environment. * Experience integrating third-party or partner systems into a larger platform via SDKs, APIs, or similar interfaces. * Experience working in a rapidly iterating test environment with tight integration between development and test teams. * Experience with requirements and configuration management tools (Jama, Confluence/Jira). * Bachelor's Degree in Systems Engineering, an Engineering discipline, or related technical field; advanced degree a plus.   US Salary Range $166,000—$220,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
