<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>ABOUT THE TEAM</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">At Anduril, our Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team specializes in solving complex, real-world problems through cutting-edge algorithms and intelligent software integrations. Operating in small, innovative teams, we push the boundaries of what's possible to deliver advanced technologies with mission-critical applications. Our commitment doesn't end with academic research or proof-of-concept experiments; we measure our success by the real-world impact of our deployed solutions. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's vision — "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" —</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Our work involves cutting-edge algorithms and high-performance software for multi-target tracking, data fusion, battle management, autonomous robotic control, and mission planning. We are currently seeking a highly talented, seasoned technical leader to join our mission and redefine the future of defense technology.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>ABOUT THE JOB</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We are looking to hire a Lead Systems Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Broomfield, CO and Waltham, MA. The Battlespace Awareness team develops tactical sense- and decision-making software that provides advanced capabilities for Anduril's command and control (C2) products. This software must work with various combinations of compute hardware, connected sensor/effector hardware, and supporting software services. Proving that software is robust to variations in scenario, configuration, and mission set is a responsibility this team owns end-to-end.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">In this role, you'll set technical direction and build the team that owns that whole pipeline — running our software through simulated scenarios, building performance analyses, red-teaming through scenario design, and creating the tooling so that engineers and customers understand system behavior. You'll be hands-on where it matters most, while also managing engineers, growing their careers, and ensuring the team's technical execution meets the bar our mission demands. This is a build-measure-analyze role for someone who has done it before at scale, led people through it, and can bring that judgment to a fast-moving team.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>WHAT YOU'LL DO</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead and grow a team of engineers.
