## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Air Defense team at Anduril builds robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky, providing mission critical capabilities to warfighters.

As a Staff RF Engineer, you will architect, design, integrate and test communications networks across a variety of platforms and systems with a focus on C2 (Command and Control) Systems.

Responsibilities:

- Design, configure, simulate and evaluate wireless tactical networking equipment, topologies, systems and datalinks

- Architect waveforms and systems to connect autonomous and human-operated systems

- Lead electrical integration of communications systems along with avionics modules and payloads into UAVs, ground vehicles, weapons systems, and C2 systems

- Support other functional engineering teams’ development effort with an understanding of wireless networks/communications, system impacts and trades

- Represent the communications and networking sub-systems in vehicle-level cross-disciplinary trade-off studies that define and optimize the design of various vehicles and systems and the environments in which they operate

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Master’s preferred

- 10+ years of experience with communication systems architecture and design for high reliability, resiliency, redundancy and/or fault tolerance

- Understanding of RF circuit design; including noise figure analysis, frequency synthesis, modulation, AGC, antenna matching, power amplifier biasing, and filtering

- Strong grasp of RF propagation, link budgets, and digital comms (modulation, FEC, spread spectrum, multiple access)

- Hands-on experience integrating and troubleshooting radios on vehicles or platforms

- Working knowledge of EMI/EMC and system-level integration issues (MIL-STD-461/464)

- Proficiency with RF test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope) and test automation

Preferred Qualifications:
