## Description

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

We are looking for a Senior Radio Frequency Engineer to own the communications architecture for the Thunder Mission System.

**Responsibilities**

- Architect, design, integrate, test, and optimise communications hardware across the Thunder Mission System and its subsystems.

- Develop RF link budgets, co-site analysis, and desense reports, and translate them into design decisions the wider team can act on.

- Configure, simulate, evaluate, and test RF systems and datalinks, in the lab and in the field.

- Create and maintain RF system interconnect diagrams and supporting design documentation.

- Select and manage radio, RF component, cable, and antenna vendors.

- Represent the communications subsystem in vehicle-level, cross-disciplinary trade studies that define and optimise our platforms.

- Support other engineering teams' development efforts by bringing an understanding of communications system impacts and trades to their design decisions.

**Required Qualifications**

- 7+ years of hands-on industry experience in RF systems design, build, test, and troubleshooting.

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

- Depth in RF link budgets, co-site analysis, and desense, and a working understanding of EMI and the system-level integration issues that come with dense platforms.

- Fluency with RF test equipment: spectrum analysers, network analysers, power meters, signal and function generators, and the judgement to know when a measurement is telling you something real.

- Experience with RF system modelling and simulation.

- Experience with the electrical integration of avionics modules and payloads into UAVs, ground vehicles, C2 systems, or weapons systems.

- Working knowledge of aviation communications systems (radios, antennas, and similar) and tactical communications systems, plus the fundamentals of Ethernet and IP networking.

- Python for test automation and data analysis, and a habit of automating any measurement you take more than twice.

- The ability to work across disciplines: defining product requirements, running trade analyses, developing specifications, and conducting system-level tests with people who are not RF engineers.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active UKSV Security Clearance.

**Benefits** Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package.
