Senior Security Engineer (Factory / OT Environments)

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Security Engineering team is looking for a security engineer to focus on building world class defensive controls to protect the infrastructure around our advanced defense technology products. This is a role with a direct focus on securing Anduril's OT (Operational Technology) and ICS (Industrial Control Systems) environments. In this role, you will design and implement foundational security solutions playing a critical role in Anduril's rollout of cutting edge factory systems.

ABOUT THE JOB

We're building out a manufacturing security engineering function within our Security Engineering team. This role is dedicated to one of our most critical production programs - you'd be the embedded security partner for the teams building advanced defense hardware.

Here's what makes this different from most security roles

You'd sit at the intersection of factory floor systems and cloud infrastructure, not purely in one world or the other. The program has both on-prem manufacturing environments and a dedicated cloud enclave handling sensitive data, and you'd own security across both.

This isn't a deploy-vendor-tools-and-write-reports seat. We need someone who builds - Terraform, Python, hands-on infrastructure work. When you find a team that's not using infrastructure as code, you help migrate them, not just flag it.

You'd be embedded directly with the production teams, not operating from a centralized security function. The goal is to know the people you support, understand what they're building, and be the first person they call when they're implementing something new or have a security question.

We're scaling manufacturing fast, so you need to be comfortable making security decisions with imperfect information and moving at startup speed. Guardrails that enable teams to move quickly matter more than perfect controls that slow everything down.

The environment includes industrial systems where traditional endpoint security tools can't be installed, so creative problem-solving and strong architectural thinking are more important than depth with any specific vendor platform.

The role can be located at HQ in Costa Mesa CA, OR Remote; with travel to manufacturing sites, and requires eligibility to obtain for a Security Clearance.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Lead OT risk assessments, gap analyses, and develop a multi-year OT security roadmap

Architect and implement defensive security controls for cloud, production, and corporate environments

Support the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of security tools

Build systems to support automation, visibility, and threat detection for efforts across various information security and infrastructure teams

Independently drive security initiatives and foster a security-first mindset across the organization
