Energy Systems Engineer, Maritime

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Quincy, MA · Maritime & Maneuver Dominance : Maritime Enabling Technology

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company seeking an Energy Systems Engineer for their Maritime division. The role involves designing, developing, testing, and certifying high-density energy storage systems for maritime products. Responsibilities include technical execution of the energy technology roadmap, supporting certification efforts (UN38.3, NAVSEA 9310), collaborating with cross-functional teams, defining technical specifications, conducting testing and validation, communicating technical status, researching new energy technologies, contributing to proposals, performing trade studies, and participating in root cause analysis. Requires a BS or higher in a relevant engineering field, 6+ years of experience in power system design and development, hands-on experience with high-density energy storage systems, battery safety experience, strong fundamentals in energy storage, and eligibility for a security clearance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, develop, and mature high-density energy storage systems through internal engineering projects, contributing directly to hardware and software solutions.
  2. Execute against sections of the energy technology roadmap, advancing current energy systems through capability development, validation, and optimization efforts.
  3. Perform and support critical certification efforts for energy systems, including tasks related to UN38.3 and NAVSEA 9310.
  4. Collaborate effectively with multi-disciplinary internal teams and external vendors to integrate energy systems into Anduril Maritime products using agile development and CI/CD principles.
  5. Contribute to the identification of energy demands, develop detailed technical specifications, and ensure our energy systems meet product requirements for endurance and safety.
