Media Systems Engineering Jobs in Boston, MA (NOW HIRING)

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.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Systems Sourcer to join Surge, our specialized sourcing engagement team within Anduril's talent acquisition organization. Surge operates as an engineering‑agnostic resource deployed against the highest priorities across the company, with a primary focus on staff‑level+ and foundational roles. As the most forward‑thinking group in the TA foundation, Surge brings deep expertise in AI tooling and proactive sourcing strategy. While Surge supports hiring across all engineering disciplines, this role will have a particular focus on Systems engineering pipelines. You will proactively identify, engage, and nurture top‑tier technical talent, partnering closely with recruiters and hiring managers to fulfill hiring surges through talent mapping, strategic outreach, and full‑cycle sourcing support.

Systems engineering at Anduril spans the senior engineers who integrate across domains - software, hardware, firmware, autonomy, and payloads - to make complex products work end‑to‑end. They own requirements, interfaces, trade studies, and cross‑stack integration rather than living inside a single discipline. Because the work requires breadth across the full stack, Systems roles skew staff‑level and above and are foundational to how Anduril ships product.

This role is open to 6 month contract.
