About the position
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 Land Systems team develops software for land-based crewed and robotic ground systems, leveraging software infrastructure built by other teams at Anduril. The team is responsible for taking crewed vehicles and uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) robots from paper sketches to operational systems. We are looking for engineers excited about fielding the next generation of software-defined ground combat vehicles. In Anduril’s Land Systems team, we're advancing the future of land-based crewed and robotic ground systems. Our goal is to transform innovative designs into fully operational, software-defined combat vehicles, and we're searching for a System Safety Engineer to help us achieve the highest standards of safety. Your role is to own constructing an evidence-based safety case and a safety critical design that demonstrates our commitment to safety at every stage of our ground systems' lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Lead development of a model-based safety case for an uncrewed ground combat system with autonomous mobility functions in a small cross-functional team.
- Own the end-to-end safety analysis process evaluating a system from functional hazard analysis (FHA) to the lowest level of the fault tree analysis (FTA).
- Design a fault management system to establish fault tolerant behavior ensuring fault containment regions and system resilience.
- Generate safety requirements to ensure the system is designed to meet our safety case, and safety goals.
- Conduct safety testing, simulations and fault modeling to understand system behavior and breaking points under heavy load, and engineer solutions to enable the system to degrade gracefully.
- Identify and document risks throughout the product lifecycle, coordinate risk mitigation with supporting stakeholders, and verify and validate risk or hazard mitigation measures.
Requirements
- Minimum of 5 years industry experience as a safety engineer, systems engineer or equivalent engineering background.
- B.S. Degree in electrical engineering, computer science or a related technical discipline. Experience with electrical, electromechanical and software-intensive systems preferred.
- Experience with ISO 26262, MIL-STD-882, ARP4754, ARP4761, or a similar commercial standard.
- Experience designing safety critical systems and architecting fault management systems.
- Experience conducting both deductive and inductive safety analyses, such as fault tree analysis (FTA); functional hazard assessments (FHA), failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA); probabilistic risk assessment (PRA); root cause assessment (RCA); Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP); or goal function tree, especially in a model-based environment.
- Experience developing testable system and software safety requirements.
- U.S. Person Status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience developing autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functionality, or other complex robotic systems.
- Experience developing and maintaining a safety case in accordance with UL 4600 or equivalent, especially in a model-based environment.
- Failure investigation experience with proven track record of solving problems and preventing reoccurrence.
- Familiarity with industry autonomy standards including ISO 21448 and UL 4600.
- Experience with a scripting language such as Python, MATLAB, or Julia, especially to conduct safety analyses, risk assessments, or verification evidence.
- Experience reading electrical schematics, piping and instrumentation (P&ID) diagrams, electrical engineering best practices, and industry guidelines for reliability.
Benefits
- Platinum Healthcare Benefits: For U.S. roles, we offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you.
- For UK roles, Private Medical Insurance (PMI): Anduril will cover the full cost of the insurance premium for an employee and dependents.

- Extremely generous company holiday calendar including a holiday hiatus in December, and highly competitive PTO plans.
- 16 weeks of paid Caregiver & Wellness Leave to care for a family member, bond with your baby, or tend to your own medical condition.
- Family Planning & Parenting Support: Fertility (eg, IVF, preservation), adoption, and gestational carrier coverage with additional benefits and resources to provide support from planning to parenting.
- Mental Health Resources: We provide free mental health resources 24/7 including therapy, life coaching, and more. Additional work-life services, such as free legal and financial support, available to you as well.
- A professional development stipend is available to all Andurilians.
- Daily Meals and Provisions: For many of our offices this means breakfast, lunch and fully stocked micro-kitchens.
- Company-funded commuter benefits available based on your region.
- Relocation assistance (depending on role eligibility).
- 401(k) retirement savings plan - both a traditional and Roth 401(k). (US roles only)
