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.\n\nAbout the Team\nThe Lethality Modeling & Simulation team supports high‑consequence engineering decisions through advanced modeling, simulation, and scientific computing. The team works across lethality, warhead effects, shock physics, detonation physics, solid mechanics, and related mission‑critical analysis areas.\n\nAbout the Job\nAnduril is looking for an HPC Systems Administrator to support the computing environment used by the Lethality Modeling & Simulation team. This is not a traditional corporate IT administrator role. You will help administer and improve the on‑prem HPC systems, scientific code environments, storage, runtime workflows, and tooling that enable analysts to run complex modeling and simulation workloads.\n\nIn this role, you will maintain and troubleshoot scientific computing systems, support Linux/Unix‑based infrastructure, help manage storage and compute resources, and partner with analysts to resolve issues across code, nodes, queues, storage, and user workflows. You will also help develop tools, scripts, and data workflows that improve analyst productivity.\n\nThe ideal candidate has experience supporting HPC, scientific computing, research computing, or secure engineering computing environments. This role is scoped for a mid‑level to senior individual contributor, with final level determined by depth of HPC experience, independence, technical ownership, and ability to lead improvements across the environment.\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\nAdminister and support on‑prem HPC systems used for lethality modeling and simulation workflows\n\nMaintain, install, update, and troubleshoot scientific codes and runtime environments\n\nDiagnose issues across code, compute nodes, operating systems, storage, queues, and user workflows\n\nSupport Linux, Unix, and Windows administration across a specialized engineering computing environment\n\nManage or support storage, data movement, and filesystem needs tied to modeling and simulation outputs\n\nBuild scripts, automation, and tools that improve analyst productivity and reduce manual workflow friction\n\nPartner with analysts, engineers, security teams, and vendor partners to improve reliability, usability, and secure operation of the environment\n\nSupport the team’s path toward classified computing readiness\n\nImpact You’ll Have\n\nEnable the Lethality Modeling & Simulation team to spend more time on mission‑critical analysis and less time troubleshooting computing environments\n\nImprove the reliability and repeatability of scientific code execution across HPC systems, storage, and analyst workflows\n\nHelp scale the team’s modeling and simulation capability by building better tooling, automation, and data workflows\n\nStrengthen the team’s secure computing foundation as Anduril expands into more sensitive and classified analysis environments\n\nRequired Qualifications\n\n5+ years of experience administering Linux/Unix systems in HPC, scientific computing, research computing, defense, aerospace, national lab, or similarly complex technical environments\n\nHands‑on experience supporting compute clusters, scientific codes, engineering software, or modeling and simulation workflows\n\nExperience with Bash and/or Python scripting for automation, troubleshooting, or workflow support\n\nExperience with scientific codes or tools such as CTH, ALE3D, Sierra, ParaView, Cubit, VisIt, hydrocodes, solid mechanics codes, or adjacent simulation tools\n\nExperience with scientific software build/runtime environments, including tools such as CMake, compilers, MPI/OpenMPI, OpenMP, environment modules, or similar technologies\n\nWorking knowledge of storage, filesystems, networking, and secure computing practices, including NFS/NAS, TCP/IP, trusted software sources, and data handling practices\n\nBachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Computational Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Scientific Computing, or a related technical discipline\n\nAbility to work onsite and obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nCurrent or prior U.S. security clearance; DOE, DoD, NNSA, or classified computing experience strongly preferred\n\nExperience in a National Laboratory, DoD research, defense, aerospace, or secure scientific computing environment\n\nExperience with Slurm or comparable HPC scheduling and cluster management tools\n\nExperience developing tools that improve analyst, researcher, or engineering productivity\n\nBenefits\nAt Anduril, we invest in our people.
