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 THE TEAM

S. military and allied partners. We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested war-fighting domain.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own the thermal design, analysis, test, and associated component vendor management of a space hardware development program. Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply. Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed design.

Define good thermal architecture to withstand the space environments. Define and quantify hot, cold, and any other edge cases that drive the system. Communicate pros/cons of system architecture with respect to thermal considerations.

Present thermal status at formal reviews internally and with customers. Provide clear understanding of timelines and technical status. Develop internal tools to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of analysis.

Develop, prepare, and execute thermal tests to inform analysis and reduce risk on key hardware assemblies. Develop a database of materials, thermal properties, and vendors of thermal hardware for use in space. Support failure reviews and root-cause analysis with test data and thermal analysis.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
