## Description

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

Anduril's Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) mission systems team is seeking a Senior Mission Systems Engineer with a focus on Electronic Warfare to join our team.

As a Senior Mission Systems Engineer for Electronic Warfare, you will own how our Group 5 autonomous platforms sense, characterize, and act on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Responsibilities:

- Define the electronic warfare capability of Group 5 autonomous platforms , threat sets to be countered, effects to be delivered, and the mission-level EW requirements that follow from them

- Own the electronic support chain end-to-end , wideband channelization, pulse descriptor word generation and deinterleaving, emitter classification and specific emitter identification, and direction finding and geolocation , and specify the onboard processing needed to close it

- Define and validate electronic attack employment , technique selection and generation, DRFM-based deception, jamming assignment and power management , and the geometry, timeline, and J/S and burn-through conditions under which each technique actually works

- Run and review EW link budgets , ERP, receiver sensitivity and dynamic range, probability of intercept, and antenna pattern and aperture placement , and translate the available margin into concrete employment options and range envelopes for the mission planners

- Build and maintain modeling, simulation, and threat-emulation environments to evaluate EW effectiveness against representative threat laydowns, and lab benches to characterize payload performance in contested and degraded conditions prior to flight

- Own the selection, integration, and lab-to-flight qualification of EW payloads , including vendor and subcontractor technical direction , within the power, cooling, SWaP, and mission-duration budgets of a Group 5 airframe

- Collaborate with RF, networking, avionics, autonomy, and software engineers to deconflict EW operation against the platform's own datalinks and sensors, and translate mission requirements into EW system engineering specifications traced through design, test, and flight

Requirements:

- A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture

- 10+ years experience in electronic warfare systems engineering, EW capability development, or EW systems analysis

- Expert level understanding of the algorithms underlying electronic support and electronic attack systems

- Expert level understanding of EW methods of employment

- Demonstrated ability to build and critically review EW and RF link budgets

- Experience translating spectrum and power availability into mission-level employment recommendations and range envelopes

- Experience with RF and EW test equipment

- Advanced knowledge of systems engineering processes

- Ability to decompose mission-level and system-level requirements into EW engineering specifications and coordinate with requirements management to ensure traceability

- Proficiency in test script development and signal analysis using common languages (Python, Bash, MATLAB)

- 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

Benefits:

- Highly competitive equity grants

- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including health, recovery, and other support
