Description
Anduril Industries is a defence technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. We are seeking a Systems Engineer to join our Imaging team, which develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies.
The successful candidate will be responsible for defining active EO/IR system architectures, performing radiometric performance modeling, and laboratory, ground, and flight testing. They will also model atmospheric and environmental effects for land, sea, and air targets, and leverage their analyses to inform system-level architectural trades.
Key responsibilities include:
- Defining system architectures via detailed trade studies and analyses
- Adapting or deriving physics-based models of sensor system performance and deriving requirements based on those models
- Taking ownership over the development of prototype sensor systems in a lab environment
- Supporting both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations
- Engaging technically with the hardware, software, and mission teams to define, integrate, and deliver high-performance systems to our customers
- Validating models against laboratory and real-world data
- Coordinating and communicating with both external & internal stakeholders with varying degrees of technical background
Required qualifications include:
- 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 include:
- 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)
Salary: $166,000 - $220,000 USD per year, plus highly competitive equity grants and top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, income protection, generous time off, family planning and parenting support, mental health resources, professional development, commuter benefits, relocation assistance, and a retirement savings plan.
