## Description

## Job Overview

The Radar team at Anduril develops state-of-the-art airborne sensing capabilities for air-to-air surveillance, aerial threat detection, and intelligence gathering missions. Our software-defined radars provide persistent, all-weather detection and tracking of aerial targets and ground threats from airborne platforms, seamlessly integrating with Lattice OS to enable autonomous decision-making and multi-sensor fusion.

## Responsibilities

- Lead systems architecture and mode development for airborne radar systems across manned and unmanned platforms.

- Develop and implement advanced radar processing algorithms with focus on DSP, waveform design, and electronic protection techniques.

- Drive end-to-end radar system design from concept through operational deployment, ensuring operationally-focused solutions.

- Design and refine advanced airborne RF sensing modes and algorithms including SAR, ISAR, GMTI, and air-to-air tracking.

- Conduct rigorous system-level analysis and requirements decomposition for airborne radar subsystems.

- Provide technical leadership in software development for radar mode implementation and real-time processing.

- Engage directly with government customers and operational users to understand mission requirements and translate them into technical solutions.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define architectures and concepts of operations for airborne systems-of-systems.

- Create, communicate, and establish consensus for internal development roadmaps for airborne radar capabilities.

- Mentor and guide team members in radar theory, systems engineering, and operational best practices.

- Support programmatic and business leadership with technical expertise for strategic decision-making.

## Requirements

- 12+ years of experience & a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or other technical field (advanced degree strongly preferred).

- Proven experience in a Staff or Principal-level technical leadership role developing operational airborne defense radar systems.

- Deep expertise in airborne radar systems engineering, mode development, and software architecture.

- Strong background in algorithm development, digital signal processing, and electronic protection techniques.

- End-to-end radar systems experience spanning hardware, software, and operational deployment.

- Demonstrated ability to work directly with operational customers and translate mission needs into technical requirements.

- Operationally-focused mindset with experience fielding systems in real-world environments.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active Secret security clearance.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience at Chief Systems Engineer or Technical Fellow level on major radar programs.

- Strong software development skills with proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and C++ for real-time radar systems.

- Expertise in digital beamforming, AESA technology, cognitive radar, or adaptive waveform techniques for airborne applications.

- Hands-on experience as a technical contributor in radar algorithm implementation and mode development.

- Direct experience supporting Air Force, Navy, Army, or Special Operations Command on airborne ISR or weapons systems programs.

- Track record of customer-facing technical leadership and program execution.

- Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility or willingness to obtain.

## Salary and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $191,000-$253,000 USD. Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive health, recovery, and other support services.
