Job description

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Radar team at Anduril develops state-of-the-art airborne sensing capabilities for air-to-air surveillance, aerial threat detection, and intelligence gathering missions. Our software-defined radars provide persistent, all-weather detection and tracking of aerial targets and ground threats from airborne platforms, seamlessly integrating with Lattice OS to enable autonomous decision-making and multi-sensor fusion. We're building next-generation airborne radar systems that are rapidly deployable, adaptable across multiple aircraft platforms, and designed for modern air combat operations-from protecting airspace to enabling advanced airborne early warning and fire control capabilities.

 WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Lead systems architecture and mode development for airborne radar systems across manned and unmanned platforms
  • Develop and implement advanced radar processing algorithms with focus on DSP, waveform design, and electronic protection techniques
  • Drive end-to-end radar system design from concept through operational deployment, ensuring operationally-focused solutions
  • Design and refine advanced airborne RF sensing modes and algorithms including SAR, ISAR, GMTI, and air-to-air tracking
  • Conduct rigorous system-level analysis and requirements decomposition for airborne radar subsystems
  • Provide technical leadership in software development for radar mode implementation and real-time processing
  • Engage directly with government customers and operational users to understand mission requirements and translate them into technical solutions
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define architectures and concepts of operations for airborne systems-of-systems
  • Create, communicate, and establish consensus for internal development roadmaps for airborne radar capabilities
  • Mentor and guide team members in radar theory, systems engineering, and operational best practices
  • Support programmatic and business leadership with technical expertise for strategic decision-making
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 12+ years of experience & a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or other 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, digital signal processing, and electronic protection techniques
  • End-to-end radar systems experience spanning hardware, software, and operational deployment
  • Demonstrated ability to work directly with operational customers and translate mission needs into technical requirements
  • Operationally-focused mindset with experience fielding systems in real-world environments (not purely academic/research focused)
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience at Chief Systems Engineer or Technical Fellow level on major radar programs
  • Strong software development skills with proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and C++ for real-time radar systems
  • Expertise in digital beamforming, AESA technology, cognitive radar, or adaptive waveform techniques for airborne applications
  • Hands-on experience as a technical contributor 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 or willingness to obtain
