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

  • Power Distribution and Infrastructure design: Lead end-to-end electrical power design for AI/HPC data centers, including medium-voltage (MV) distribution, substations, switchgear, UPS systems, BESS, PDUs, busways, and rack-level power delivery for high-density GPU racks.

  • Power High-Density Compute: Engineer power infrastructure specifically for NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, GB200, etc.), including coordination with liquid cooling systems, CDUs, and evolving rack power densities.

  • Plan Power Topology: Design and specify utility interconnects, generator plants, ATS, paralleling switchgear, transformers, and backup power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundant) to meet Tier III/IV and Uptime Institute standards.

  • Load Analysis & Modeling: Perform short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, and coordination studies using SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower. Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and detailed construction documents.

  • Architect power systems supporting utility-scale requirements in: expeditionary environments—integrating generators, energy storage, intelligent distribution, and load management. MW+ scale distribution.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, controls, network, and hardware engineering teams to align electrical design with cooling, structural, and compute deployment plans.

What they're looking for

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Experience designing hyperscale or AI data centers
  • Deep knowledge of MIL-STD-3071, NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and Uptime Institute standards
  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in relevant engineering discipline
  • Holds Active Secret Clearance or higher
  • 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
  • Experience with modular power systems, rack-level conversion, BESS,: HVDC/LVDC, or other advanced power architectures.
