Power Systems Architect, Expeditionary AI/HPC Data Center Infrastructure

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h2>ABOUT THE JOB</h2> <p>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. They are air-transportable, power-constrained, hardened systems optimized for AI inference at the tactical edge and deeply integrated with Lattice.<br><br>We are seeking a Power Systems Architect to design and build these tactical AI/HPC data centers from the ground up. This is a new and highest priority role. You will help architect the complete electrical infrastructure—MV/LV power distribution, transformer selection, switchgear, UPS system, and rack level power delivery infrastructure—that enables AI processing in austere, contested, and DDIL (degraded/denied/intermittent/limited) environments. This capability does not exist today as a fielded system. You will define what this category looks like and build systems that will be deployed in some of the most challenging environments on earth.<br><br>Exact candidate title and leveling to be determined based upon technical acumen, professional experience, leadership ability, and assessed capabilities through the interview process.<br><br></p> <h2>WHAT YOU'LL DO</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Power Distribution and Infrastructure design:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Power High-Density Compute:</strong> Engineer power infrastructure specifically for NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, GB200, etc.), including coordination with liquid cooling systems, CDUs, and evolving rack power densities.</li> <li><strong>Plan Power Topology:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Load Analysis & Modeling:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Architect power systems </strong>supporting utility-scale requirements in expeditionary environments—integrating generators, energy storage, intelligent distribution, and load management. MW+ scale distribution.</li> <li><strong>Cross-Functional Collaboration:</strong> Partner with mechanical, controls, network, and hardware engineering teams to align electrical design with cooling, structural, and compute deployment plans.</li> <li>Architect a microgrid for 1MW to 10MW data center installations in environments where grid power is not always guaranteed so large scale generat
