Anduril's Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) mission systems team is seeking a Mission Systems Engineer with a focus on C2 Networking to join our team. As a Mission Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering mission outcomes within Anduril programs through the judicious selection, sourcing, and validation of mission relevant payloads and systems. ## Responsibilities - Architect and evolve resilient, multi-classification network topologies that keep autonomous air platforms connected across contested and degraded RF environments. - Design and validate unicast and multicast data flows end-to-end -- from onboard compute through tactical datalinks to ground-based C2 nodes -- latency, throughput, and reliability. - Own the selection, integration, and lab-to-flight qualification of networking hardware and software, including tactical radios, routers, and encryption devices. - Build and maintain network simulation and emulation environments to model mission scenarios, characterize link budgets, and stress-test failover behavior. - Develop automated test scripts and traffic-generation harnesses (Python, Bash) to validate QoS policies, multicast routing (IGMP/PIM), and unicast routing (OSPF/BGP/PBR) under realistic load. - Collaborate with RF, avionics, and software engineers to integrate networking stacks onto vehicle platforms and troubleshoot issues across layers 1-7 during lab, ground, and flight test events. - Translate mission requirements into network engineering specifications, trace them through design and test, and deliver clear documentation for both internal teams and program stakeholders. ## Requirements - A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture. - 7+ years experience as a network engineer. - Expert level understanding of both unicast and multicast data flows. - Expert level knowledge of multicast and its supporting protocols including IGMP & PIM. - Expert level knowledge of unicast and supporting protocols including but not limited to OSPF, BGP, PBR. - Expert level knowledge of Quality of Service and CBWFQ. - Experience with unicast and multicast traffic generators. - Advanced knowledge of Linux based operating systems. - Advanced knowledge of troubleshooting techniques at layers 1-7. - Advanced knowledge of systems engineering processes including test case development, requirements enumeration, unit vs. system level testing. - Ability to decompose mission-level and system-level requirements into network engineering specifications and coordinate with requirements management to ensure traceability. - Proficiency in test script development using common languages (Python, Bash, Ruby). - Must hold a U.S. Secret security clearance. - Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance. - Ability to travel up to 30% as needed to support various efforts. ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience with cross-domain solutions (CDS), multi-level security (MLS) network architectures, or NSA-evaluated network devices such as HAIPE inline encryptors or Type 1 cryptographic equipment. - Experience with mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), delay-tolerant networking (DTN), or dynamic routing in high-mobility, topology-variable environments. - Experience with network modeling and simulation tools such as EMANE, ns-3, CORE, or equivalent environments for evaluating network performance and conducting trade studies. - Experience managing vendor or subcontractor technical deliverables, including COTS/GOTS evaluation, technical interchange meetings, and integration milestone tracking. - Familiarity with COMSEC procedures, key management infrastructure (KMI/SKL), and handling of cryptographic material. - Familiarity with tactical radios and waveforms used in DoD operational environments. - Familiarity with End-to-End RF integration including Unmanned Aerial Systems. - Hands on experience with network design, test, and operation of communications systems over various RF apertures. ## Benefits - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans. - Income Protection: Life and disability insurance. - Generous time off: Highly competitive PTO plans. - Family Planning & Parenting Support: Coverage for fertility treatments, adoption, and gestational carriers. - Mental Health Resources: Access free mental health resources 24/7. - Professional Development: Annual reimbursement for professional development. - Commuter Benefits: Company-funded commuter benefits. - Relocation Assistance: Available depending on role eligibility. - Retirement Savings Plan: Traditional 401(k), Roth, and after-tax options. ## Skills ### Required - network engineering - multicast data flows -
