## Description

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

The Space Imaging team is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team. The Imaging Space team is responsible for system architecture definition, trade analyses, and modeling/validating system performance for spaceborne EO/IR systems.

In this role, you will be responsible for defining active EO/IR system architectures. You will perform radiometric performance modeling as well as laboratory, ground, and flight testing. To predict real-world performance, you will also model atmospheric and environmental effects for land, sea, and air targets. You will leverage your analyses to inform system-level architectural trades. As needed, you will also lead small teams of engineers from concept ideation through system definition and development.

**Responsibilities**

- Define system architectures via detailed trade studies and analyses.

- Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models.

- Take ownership over the development of prototype sensor systems in a lab environment.

- Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations.

- Engage technically with the hardware, software, and mission teams to define, integrate, and deliver high performance systems to our customers.

- Validate models against laboratory and real-world data.

- Coordinate and communicate with both external & internal stakeholders with varying degrees of technical background.

**Required Qualifications**

- Model development and validation in one or more domains relevant to remote sensing

- Ability to decompose complex systems into functional parts, with clearly defined interfaces and requirements for each.

- Experience in system design and development from initial concept through test and delivery to customer.

- Strong laboratory skills (rapid prototyping, design of experiments) and familiarity with opto-electrical test and measurement equipment.

- Willingness to travel to test sites, as needed.

- Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms

- Active and passive sensing domain experience (e.g., LiDAR, EO/IR, Radar)

- Experience with laser systems, including opto-mechanical scanning and beam steering techniques.

- Knowledge of electro-mechanical control systems, including their performance requirements and verification methodologies.

- Experience with LiDAR/Radar signal processing techniques, and knowledge of their implementation on real-time embedded platforms (FPGA, MCU, etc.).

- Experience with signature and/or scenario modeling/software packages (MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM).

- Space domain experience (architecting sensors for operation in space environments)

**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.
