Anduril Industries Senior Electrical Engineer at Anduril Industries owns reserve and backup energy system design for maritime autonomous vehicles. Designs bootstrap power solutions for vehicle initialization, emergency operation, and safe recovery.

Responsibilities

The reserve energy path has to sit dormant for long periods and still bring the vehicle up on demand, which makes this a safety-critical design problem rather than a battery selection exercise. [HM to confirm before posting: required dormancy duration, reserve capacity target.]

Select and qualify reserve energy technologies for long-duration dormancy
Define power sequencing requirements for vehicle boot-up
