Full job description

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.

As a Mission Systems Integration Engineer, you will be responsible for both lab & field integration and test of payloads, subcomponents, amplifiers, and antennas. You will leverage your expertise in electronics/RF design, testing, and troubleshooting to rapidly test & integrate both internal and third-party built RF systems. You will develop test set-ups that allow for the validation of device performance using state-of-the-art RF equipment, such as spectrum and network analyzers. You will support flight test events and large-scale, customer facing validation exercises. This will require taking ownership of end to end system test and working across various Anduril internal teams to appropriately integrate capabilities. If you are someone who enjoys building and delivering compelling next-generation autonomous capabilities and supporting actual vehicle integration, then this role is for you.

  • Test RF systems (power measurements, pulse response/synchronization, network analysis, environmental & stress testing, etc.)
  • Drive air vehicle integration and checkout efforts (EMI/interference testing, installed performance testing, data analysis)
  • Validate system performance in close cooperation with design & system engineers
  • Work closely with AD&S teams to successfully integrate & deliver high-performance systems to our customers
  • Communicate results in multiple forms internally and externally

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Communications, sensors, and effector domain expertise in RF based systems (e.g. Radar, ESM, EW, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience with RF test equipment and measurement techniques
  • Experience in RF system integration and validation, the more the better

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Masters Degree in STEM (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Physics, Computer Science, or other relevant engineering discipline)
  • Hands-on experience with both analog and digital systems integration.
  • Ability to develop SW to enable closed-loop or automated testing of systems under test
  • Experience with simulation and modeling tools (e.g., ADS, Ansys HFSS, COMSOL, MATLAB, etc.)
  • Advanced sensing domain experience (e.g., EO/IR, ESM, EA, EW, LIDAR)
  • Experience with air vehicle design, integration, test, & fielding
