About The Position

The SEIT Lead will own the requirements, interfaces, and verification plan for a maritime autonomous vehicle, leading the integration campaign that brings separate subsystem deliveries together into a working vehicle. The role leads the SEIT function and directs the MBSE systems engineer supporting it. Subsystem teams spanning structures, energy, propulsion, communications, and vehicle management are designing in parallel; the SEIT Lead establishes and manages interfaces, holds teams accountable to them, and prioritizes testing to retire risk.

The position is part of Anduril's Maritime Division. The division is developing capabilities at a new 160,000-square-foot Proto-Factory in Orange County, California, as an early prototyping hub for Arsenal-2, a software-defined shipyard being built in Baltimore County, Maryland. The role requires travel of up to 25% to test sites and operational locations.

• Plan and run the integration and test campaign across bench, software-in-the-loop (SITL), hardware-in-the-loop (HITL), dockside, and at-sea testing.
• Own vehicle technical budgets for mass, volume, power, energy, and buoyancy.
• Chair design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, and TRR) and drive actions to closure.
• Lead test readiness and anomaly resolution during at-sea testing.
