Anduril Industries is a defense technology company seeking a Senior Battery Engineer with expertise in energy storage subsystem development. The role involves end-to-end energy storage system development from concept to production, including battery pack design, testing, manufacturing collaboration, and field sustainment. The engineer will interface with product teams and manage vendor relationships, ensuring performance and reliability in defense systems. Requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field with 5+ years of experience, demonstrated delivery of energy storage systems from prototype to production, and awareness of BMS, cell characterization, and safety standards. U.S. Person status is required.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive end-to-end energy storage system (ESS) development on extremely accelerated timelines
  2. Take ownership to ensure successful battery pack delivery. Ex: meet cost targets, quickly identify and resolve reliability issues, support DFM to achieve reliable and low-cost manufacturing, etc.
  3. Serve as main interface between Core Battery Group and internal customers (Anduril product teams) to maintain positive and collaborative relationship
  4. Collaborate with program teams to define actionable ESS requirements from user story/CONOPs
  5. Drive battery cell selection with accelerated de-risk/validation
