Systems Engineer, Army (CUAS)

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

We are hiring a Systems Engineer for Anduril's air defense work with the U.S. Army. The portfolio fields counter-UAS systems that bring together Pulsar, Wisp, and other Anduril and third-party sensors, effectors, and communications, and they have to work wherever the Army needs them.

Responsibilities Own requirements and verification for your scope. Write and maintain the requirements and verification records, tie each requirement to a test, and produce and defend your portion of formal design reviews.

• Integrate, calibrate, and test the hardware. Configure and integrate systems before they ship, and run them through burn-in, calibration, and test at the range.
• Keep interface documentation matched to what the hardware actually does.
• Equip the people who run it. Write the site requirements, setup and calibration procedures, checklists, and training content that field teams and operators use.
• Keep fielded systems ready through maintenance, software updates, and configuration tracking, so what deploys matches what was validated.
• Support the system in the field. Root-cause issues from logs and data, lead technical recovery for your scope, and travel to the site when the problem needs hands on the equipment.

Required Qualifications

• Engineering, science, or other technical degree, or equivalent practical experience
• 4+ years of systems engineering or related engineering experience on hardware and software systems
• Ownership of a subsystem, interface, or other defined technical scope through verification and fielding, with accountability for whether it actually worked, not only for its design artifacts
• Ability to explain the architecture and interfaces of a subsystem you owned, and a record of keeping interface documentation consistent with observed behavior
• Ability to turn a defined scope into clear requirements and verification steps, then plan and run the test that shows it works
• Experience debugging on real hardware and real data, including root-causing field issues with limited supervision
• Experience presenting your own results to a technical working group or customer, and producing your portion of a formal design review
• Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time on average, with periods of up to 50% during test events and deployments
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Experience with deployable or expeditionary systems that are set up, calibrated, and torn down in the field
• Experience writing procedures, checklists, or training material that operators or technicians executed successfully without you present
• Depth in at least one of: radar, passive RF detection, electro-optical and infrared sensors, tactical radios and networking, or command and control software
• Experience sustaining equipment held in reserve or storage, including preventive maintenance, software currency, and battery health
• Experience developing and executing the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process to achieve and maintain an Authority to Operate (ATO) for a fielded system
• Experience delivering counter-UAS, air defense, or force protection capability to a U.S. Army customer
• Comfort on the Linux command line, and with Python for parsing and visualizing test data
• Prior military service, particularly in Army air defense or an expeditionary unit
