Multi-Domain Mission Capabilities Lead, Multinational Digital Infrastructure

📋 Job Overview

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.

🏢 About Anduril Industries

The Multinational Digital Infrastructure (MDI) team builds and sustains the classified networks, sovereign cloud environments, and data transport architectures that connect Anduril's Maritime platforms across the US, UK, and Australia. We own the connective tissue between autonomous systems from undersea mesh networks to multinational SECRET cloud enabling coordinated war fighting capability at scale across AUKUS nations.

🎯 The Role

We are looking for a Multi-Domain Mission Capabilities Lead, Multinational Digital Infrastructure to join our rapidly growing team. Anduril builds world-class autonomous maritime platforms -- undersea vehicles, surface vessels, aerial systems, seabed sensors. Today, each platform communicates in its own way, on its own timeline, with its own constraints. There is no unified network architecture that enables a distributed autonomous fleet to operate as a single coordinated warfighting system.

The Anduril Maritime mission requires platforms to work together as a coordinated, multi-domain system of systems that detects, tracks, classifies, and engages threats across undersea, surface, air, and space domains. The SoS must persist in environments where nothing is guaranteed: comms are denied, infrastructure doesn't exist, and the system has to deploy from nothing to operational in hours.

This role owns the complete expeditionary digital infrastructure stack that makes coordinated maritime operations possible network, compute, data services, classification boundaries, and the management plane that keeps it all running in environments where nothing else exists. You define how platforms connect, where data gets processed and fused at the edge, how services run on forward-deployed compute without persistent connectivity, and how the entire stack deploys to an operational theater as a coherent, repeatable capability not a one-off science project.

You sit at the intersection of network architecture, systems engineering, edge compute, and expeditionary operations. You'll define the deployable digital infrastructure architecture, build it, take it to the field, prove it works under operational conditions, and hand back a repeatable playbook that scales beyond a single demonstration.

This is not a network engineering role that occasionally thinks about missions. This is a full-stack expeditionary infrastructure role network through compute through services through data that exists to make deployed mission systems work.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Deployable Digital Infrastructure Architecture
• Mission Integration & Field Validation
• Expeditionary Digital Infrastructure
• Cross-Functional Technical Leadership

📌 Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience spanning network architecture, systems/infrastructure engineering, and operational deployment of mission-critical digital systems with demonstrated ability to architect, build, and operate across the full stack
• Track record of delivering complex digital infrastructure in field environments not just designing it, but deploying to exercises, demonstrations, or operational environments and owning the outcome end-to-end
• Deep expertise in tactical/expeditionary networking: contested comms, mesh architectures, SATCOM integration, software-defined transport, and graceful degradation under link loss
• Strong systems engineering across compute, containerized services, and data pipelines not just the network layer, but what runs on top of it in forward-deployed environments
• Systems-of-systems thinking: ability to reason from operational outcomes (kill chain timelines, mission success criteria) backward into infrastructure requirements network, compute, services, and data
• Experience designing and operating infrastructure in disconnected/intermittent environments: edge compute, autonomous services, store-and-forward data movement, and graceful reconnection
• Experience integrating across multiple autonomous or unmanned platforms understanding how heterogeneous systems coordinate when each has different comms constraints, processing capabilities, and operational modes
• Comfortable operating in the field: exercises, at-sea events, austere locations. This role deploys with the systems it designs.
• Ability to drive technical alignment across teams you don't manage setting standards, building consensus, and shipping integrated capability through influence and direct contribution
• Can communicate system architecture to admirals and operators as effectively as to platform engineers
• Willingness to travel ~40% (exercises, customer sites, Anduril facilities, allied partner locations)
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with undersea communications (acoustic modems, UUV comms, delay-tolerant networking)
• Background in maritime tactical networks (ADNS, CANES, Link-16/22, CEC, or allied equivalents)
• Experience with mesh networking: dynamic topology, priority-based routing, store-and-forward, reconstitution after node loss
• Knowledge of AUKUS or Five Eyes classified network frameworks
• Background in cloud-native networking (service mesh, CNI, overlay networks) applied to edge/tactical environments
• Prior work supporting at-sea testing, fleet exercises, or large-scale autonomy demonstrations
• Experience with Lattice, ROS/ROS2, or similar distributed autonomy middleware from a networking perspective
• Familiarity with IaC tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and DevSecOps practices applied to network infrastructure

🎁 Benefits

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including:
