Anduril Industries is seeking a Staff Radar Engineer to lead the development of state-of-the-art airborne sensing capabilities for air-to-air surveillance, aerial threat detection, and intelligence gathering missions. You will drive systems architecture and mode development for advanced airborne radar systems across manned and unmanned platforms, with a focus on software-defined radars that integrate seamlessly with Lattice OS for autonomous decision-making and multi-sensor fusion.
In this role, you will develop and implement advanced radar processing algorithms with expertise in digital signal processing (DSP), waveform design, and electronic protection techniques. You'll own end-to-end radar system design from concept through operational deployment, ensuring solutions are operationally focused and rapidly deployable across multiple aircraft platforms. Key responsibilities include designing advanced airborne RF sensing modes (SAR, ISAR, GMTI, air-to-air tracking), conducting rigorous system-level analysis and requirements decomposition, and providing technical leadership in software development for radar mode implementation and real-time processing.
You will engage directly with government customers and operational users to understand mission requirements and translate them into technical solutions. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential to define architectures and concepts of operations for airborne systems-of-systems. You'll create and communicate internal development roadmaps for airborne radar capabilities, mentor team members in radar theory and systems engineering, and support programmatic and business leadership with technical expertise for strategic decision-making.
Required: 12+ years of experience with a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or related technical field (advanced degree strongly preferred). Proven experience in a Staff or Principal-level technical leadership role developing operational airborne defense radar systems. Deep expertise in airborne radar systems engineering, mode development, and software architecture. Strong background in algorithm development, DSP, and electronic protection. End-to-end radar systems experience spanning hardware, software, and operational deployment. Demonstrated ability to work with operational customers and translate mission needs into technical requirements. Operationally-focused mindset with experience fielding systems in real-world environments. Eligible to obtain and maintain an active Secret security clearance.
Preferred: Experience at Chief Systems Engineer or Technical Fellow level on major radar programs. Strong software development skills in MATLAB, Python, and C++ for real-time radar systems. Expertise in digital beamforming, AESA technology, cognitive radar, or adaptive waveform techniques. Hands-on experience in radar algorithm implementation and mode development. Direct experience supporting Air Force, Navy, Army, or Special Operations Command on airborne ISR or weapons systems programs. Track record of customer-facing technical leadership and program execution. Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.
