Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold.

We are seeking a talented Senior RF Design and Test Engineer to join our Electrical Engineering Design team. In this role, you will collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems design teams, as well as our EMC and compliance groups, to deliver RF hardware that meets performance and regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure RF designs comply with relevant military and commercial communication system standards and protocols, and support spectrum authorization/certification processes for military RF systems.
  • Evaluate designs against SAR and military RF exposure limits, coordinating testing as needed.
  • Assess coexistence and desense between onboard radios (e.g., UWB, GNSS, LTE) , distinguishing conducted vs. radiated coupling paths , and recommend mitigations for cross-band interference and antenna detuning.
  • Bench and chamber test RF hardware and antennas (e.g., using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and antenna/anechoic chambers) to validate performance against requirements.
  • Partner with EMC and mechanical engineering to root-cause field or test failures that span RF, electrical and mechanical domains.
  • Design RF circuits and subsystems, including front-ends, amplifiers, filters, and transceivers; perform link budget and system-level RF analysis, including receiver saturation and sensitivity trade-offs.
  • Design and integrate antennas and antenna arrays, balancing RF performance against mechanical and system constraints, including connector/mechanical interface tolerances.
  • Support GPS/GNSS receiver design and integration, including active antenna bias circuits, filtering, and interference immunity.
  • Utilize 3D EM simulation tools and S-parameter analysis to model and optimize RF and antenna performance.
  • Review schematics and CAD designs for RF performance, signal integrity, and manufacturability.

Benefits At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
