About The Position

Anduril's Maritime Division is transforming American sea power and scaling production of critical components for Virginia-class attack submarines and next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The team is developing and proving advanced manufacturing methods, digital workflows, and quality systems at its 160,000-square-foot Proto-Factory in Orange County, California, ahead of broader shipyard expansion.

The Senior Systems Engineer will own the requirements verification traceability matrix for a maritime autonomous vehicle, connecting program requirements to subsystem allocations and the tests or analyses that demonstrate compliance. The requirements baseline and test campaign will already be underway when the role begins. The engineer will maintain traceability as the design changes, identify verification items affected by requirement changes, and confirm that completed tests close the intended requirements. This position reports to the Systems Engineering, Integration and Test Lead and involves travel of up to 15% to test sites and operational locations.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.

• Experience on a program where the requirements baseline was still being written.

Responsibilities

• Own the requirements verification traceability matrix end to end.

• Track verification status and report closure against program milestones.
• Run change impact analysis when requirements or interfaces change.
• Write and review requirements for testability as well as correctness.
• Work with the MBSE engineer to keep traceability in the model rather than beside it.
• Work with the T&E Lead so test evidence maps clearly to verification items.
• Prepare verification artifacts for design reviews and customer milestones.
