Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
The Discovery team at Anduril is at the forefront of incubating and maturing high-potential, software-defined, AI-native offerings that meet the toughest, newest challenges across hardware, software, space, and cyber domains.
As a Staff Red Team Engineer, you are the adversary to our own systems. Your job is to find the wrong assumption, the unmodeled failure mode, and the design weakness before it reaches the field , when it's still cheap to fix.
Responsibilities:
- Independently red-team designs, models, and analyses across the program , hunt failure modes, surface hidden assumptions, and pressure-test trade studies before decisions are locked in
- Build the models and simulations needed to prove or break a claim, rather than taking it on faith , often developing the analysis tooling yourself
- Reconstruct and independently verify others' work; find the error everyone else missed
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Systems, GNC, Software, Hardware, Mission Ops, and Test teams, translating findings into clear, actionable guidance that measurably improves the design
- Bring hands-on systems-building experience to bear so problems are caught in analysis, not in flight
- Communicate complex results , including strong visual presentation of data , to engineers, leadership, and stakeholders
Requirements:
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- Hands-on track record of both designing/building and analyzing real engineering systems , not analysis-only
- Demonstrated ability to find problems others miss: failure analysis, adversarial review, independent verification, or equivalent
- Proven track record of independently owning and executing deliverables with little to no management
- Proficiency with physics-math scripting (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, Python + numpy/scipy)
- Strong engineering background in a relevant field (Aerospace, Dynamics & Controls, GNC, Systems, or similar)
- Outstanding communication skills, including visual presentation of complex data
Preferred Qualifications:
- 10+ years in a relevant science/engineering field
- Hands-on design and analysis experience across multiple of: space systems, missiles / missile defense, air vehicles, GNC, sensors and sensor fusion, radar, EW
- Formal red-team, T&E, IV&V, mission-assurance, or failure-analysis experience
- Comfort moving fluidly between domains and physics regimes within a single problem
- Exceptional proficiency with physics-math scripting of your choice
- Familiarity with domain analysis tools as relevant (e.g., STK/Astrogator, AFSIM)
- Experience with genetic algorithms, machine learning, AI, and reinforcement learning
