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., * Power Distribution and Infrastructure design: 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. * Power High-Density Compute: Engineer power infrastructure specifically for NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, GB200, etc.), including coordination with liquid cooling systems, CDUs, and evolving rack power densities. * Plan Power Topology: 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. * Load Analysis & Modeling: 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. * Architect power systems supporting utility-scale requirements in expeditionary environments-integrating generators, energy storage, intelligent distribution, and load management. MW+ scale distribution. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, controls, network, and hardware engineering teams to align electrical design with cooling, structural, and compute deployment plans. * Architect a microgrid for 1MW to 10MW data center installations in environments where grid power is not always guaranteed so large scale generator or battery backup systems are necessary to maintain uptime. * Design high voltage power systems that meet safety standards and requirements to be deployed in the field. * Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible * Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments-extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening * Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements and needs into technical architectures, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates. ## Related Videos - [DevOps at Netflix](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/270-devops-at-netflix) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [AI Factories at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1139-ai-factories-at-scale) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
