By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.\nABOUT THE TEAM\nThe 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.\nIn 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.\nYou should have a track record of successfully working on fast-paced, highly technical, interdisciplinary teams. Proficiency in analytical toolchains or languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python) is required. Experience with industry standard EO/IR modeling software packages (e.g. MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM) is a plus. Prior experience working with space sensors and systems is highly desirable.\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\nDefine system architectures via detailed trade studies and analyses.\nAdapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models.\nTake ownership over the development of prototype sensor systems in a lab environment.\nSupport both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations.\nEngage technically with the hardware, software, and mission teams to define, integrate, and deliver high performance systems to our customers.\nValidate models against laboratory and real-world data.\nCoordinate and communicate with both external & internal stakeholders with varying degrees of technical background.\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS\nModel development and validation in one or more domains relevant to remote sensing\nAbility to decompose complex systems into functional parts, with clearly defined interfaces and requirements for each.\nExperience in system design and development from initial concept through test and delivery to customer.\nStrong laboratory skills (rapid prototyping, design of experiments) and familiarity with opto-electrical test and measurement equipment.\nWillingness to travel to test sites, as needed.\nMust be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nKnowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms\nActive and passive sensing domain experience (e.g., LiDAR, EO/IR, Radar)\nExperience with laser systems, including opto-mechanical scanning and beam steering techniques.\nKnowledge of electro-mechanical control systems, including their performance requirements and verification methodologies.\nExperience with LiDAR/Radar signal processing techniques, and knowledge of their implementation on real-time embedded platforms (FPGA, MCU, etc.).\nExperience with signature and/or scenario modeling/software packages (MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM).\nSpace domain experience (architecting sensors for operation in space environments)\nUS Salary Range\n$143,000—$191,000 USD\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
