## Description

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

As a Discovery Engineer you will pick up a concept nobody has proven, learn whatever domain it lives in, build the analysis or prototype that tests it, and get to an answer.

## Responsibilities

- Own new concepts from first idea through analysis, prototype, and test, and drive them to a validated answer

- Learn new domains fast enough to do real work in them: read the references, build the model, check it against known results, then extend it

- Build or adapt the models, simulations, and test setups the question needs, using existing tools where they fit and building where they do not

- Pressure-test your own and others' work: hunt failure modes, surface hidden assumptions, and stress trade studies before decisions are locked in

- Use AI tools as a force multiplier for research, code, and analysis, and know when their output has to be checked against a reference

- Work shoulder to shoulder with Hardware, Software, GNC, and the other teams at Anduril, and translate results into decisions that change the design

- Communicate results to engineers, leadership, and customers, including strong visual presentation of complex data

## Required Qualifications

- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance

- Demonstrated experience working in more than one technical area

- You have done things: designed, built, tested, or fielded something real, in any field

- Proficiency in at least one physics-math scripting environment (Python with numpy/scipy, MATLAB/Simulink, Julia, or similar)

- Strong written, verbal, and visual communication

## Preferred Qualifications

- 4+ years in a relevant science/engineering field

- Math, physics, or engineering degree, or similar

- Proficiency with AI tools (coding assistants, agents, model-driven research) in day-to-day engineering work, and judgment about when to trust their output

- Experience in several of: space systems, missiles and missile defense, air vehicles, GNC, sensors and sensor fusion, radar, EW, acoustics, autonomy, or similar. Breadth across these counts for more than depth in any one

- Familiarity with domain analysis tools as relevant (STK/Astrogator, AFSIM, HFSS, Fluent, or similar)

## Benefits

Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) that ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
