The opportunity

Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) is building AI Factories and Command/Control centers—specialized, high-performance computing centers designed to process petabyte-scale data and convert it into decisions at machine speed from forward operating bases. These are not traditional data centers.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers from: compute hardware through power architecture, networking, and thermal cooling systems

  • Design GPU-accelerated compute clusters optimized for AI inference and: training workloads at the tactical edge (NVIDIA H100/A100, AMD MI300, or similar)

  • Engineer advanced thermal solutions for high-density compute without: traditional data center infrastructure (liquid cooling, immersion cooling, hybrid systems)

  • Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized,: vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible

  • Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments—extreme: temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening

  • Work in tight coupling with Lattice and AI/ML teams to ensure physical: infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements

What they're looking for

  • Background in AI/ML infrastructure supporting large-scale inference, computer vision, or autonomous systems
  • Experienced with high speed compute infrastructure networking and network topologies
  • Familiarity with edge computing architectures, distributed inference systems, or autonomous vehicles
  • Background in 3-phase power distribution or HV battery systems
  • Experience with tactical military systems, ruggedized computing, or: deployable infrastructure in austere or contested environments
  • Knowledge of military environmental standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461) and: expeditionary deployability requirements
  • Hands-on experience with containerized or modular data center designs (ISO containers, mobile facilities)
  • Experience with expeditionary or forward operating base (FOB) infrastructure
