Senior Electrical Engineer, Thunder Mission Systems Integration
Job description
ABOUT THE TEAM The Maneuver Dominance team is building Thunder - an autonomous attack rotorcraft built to fight alongside crewed combat aviation to deliver overwhelming mass effects deep beyond the front lines. The team in London builds the Mission System and the autonomy that makes aircraft like Thunder work. Autonomy is only as good as the link that carries it. Thunder is a compact airframe with weapons, sensors and radios competing for the same antenna real estate, flying low and in formation, in a spectrum that is actively contested. That is the problem you would own. ABOUT THE JOB Anduril is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join the Thunder team at our Costa Mesa HQ.
