Senior Radar Engineer, Air Defense

Job description

Detecting a small, fast, low-flying drone is the hardest problem in the counter-UAS kill chain, and everything downstream depends on getting it right. We are looking for a Senior Radar Engineer to join our rapidly growing Air Defense team based in Irvine, CA. In this role, you will own the architecture, performance, and detection and tracking performance of networked radar systems that feed our family of systems, working alongside effector, autonomy, and Lattice teams to turn a raw detection into a closed kill chain.

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

Job responsibilities

  • 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 our 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

Job requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related technical field, and 5+ years of hands-on experience in radar systems engineering, including 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
  • 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
