Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Air Defense team builds autonomous systems that detect and neutralize unmanned aerial systems (UAS) threats. This role is critical to the counter-UAS mission: detecting small, fast, low-flying drones is the hardest problem in the kill chain, and everything downstream depends on getting it right.
As Senior Radar Engineer, you will own the architecture, performance, and detection/tracking capabilities of networked radar systems that feed Anduril's family of air defense products (Roadrunner, Sentry, Anvil, Pulsar, Wisp). You will work alongside effector, autonomy, and Lattice OS teams to translate raw detections into closed kill chains. This requires deep radar systems expertise, sound judgment on performance trades against real threat sets, and a willingness to stay hands-on from sensor performance through field integration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Architect and implement RF sensing technologies for air defense radar systems and multi-domain platforms
- Conduct rigorous system-of-systems analysis to decompose operational requirements into radar subsystem specifications, link budgets, and performance trades
- Work with internal and external radars to validate advanced radar techniques, waveforms, signal processing algorithms, and detection/tracking technologies against evolving UAS threats
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architectures and concepts of operations for networked sensor and effector engagements
- Create and drive consensus on internal technical roadmaps for counter-UAS radar capabilities
- Engage directly with DoD customers to translate operational needs into technical requirements
- Provide technical leadership to program management and business development teams to support strategic decision-making
REQUIREMENTS:
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related technical field, plus 5+ years of hands-on experience in radar systems engineering (hardware, algorithms, or software development)
- Strong expertise in radar architecture, waveform design, radar modes, and system-level modeling
- Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for radar simulation and analysis
- Proven track record in a technical leadership role developing high-performance defense radar systems
- Must be authorized to work in the United States
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Hands-on experience developing RF sensing systems for detection and tracking of small, low-observable, low-altitude targets
- Proficiency in C++ for real-time embedded systems or signal processing pipelines
- Understanding of radar antenna development, technology, and integration
- Prior experience supporting DoD or IC programs
