Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
The Space team at Anduril is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. The team develops autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms, and delivers critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale.
We are hiring Senior Radar Engineers to architect and deliver next-generation space-based radar systems that will redefine orbital ISR and tactical sensing. The ideal candidate will have experience in radar systems engineering, including hardware, algorithms, or software development, and will be able to operate at the intersection of advanced electromagnetics, real-time signal processing, and autonomous space operations.
Responsibilities:
- Architect and implement RF sensing technologies for space-based radar payloads and multi-domain platforms
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architectures and concepts of operations for complex space missions
- Conduct rigorous system-of-systems analysis to decompose mission requirements into radar subsystem specifications, link budgets, and performance trades
- Develop and validate advanced radar techniques, waveforms, signal processing algorithms, and detection/tracking technologies
- Create and drive consensus on internal technical roadmaps for space radar capabilities
- Engage directly with DoD and IC customers to translate operational needs into technical requirements
- Provide technical leadership to program management and business development teams to support strategic decision-making
- Mentor and grow team members in radar theory, space systems engineering, and best practices
Requirements:
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related technical field
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in radar systems engineering
- Proven track record in a technical leadership role developing high-performance defense radar systems
- Strong expertise in radar architecture, waveform design, radar modes, and system-level modeling
- Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for radar simulation and analysis
- Prior experience supporting DoD or IC programs
- Active U.S. Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance
Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience developing space-based RF sensing systems
- Proficiency in C++ for real-time embedded systems or signal processing pipelines
- Experience with SAR, GMTI, or space-based SIGINT modes
- Understanding of radar antenna development, technology, and integration
- Familiarity with spacecraft operations, space mission design tools, or hardware-in-the-loop integration with ground stations
Benefits:
- Competitive salary range: $146,000-$194,000 USD
- Highly competitive equity grants
- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including health, recovery, and other support
