Systems Engineer

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the-art radar systems, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies.

We are looking to hire a Systems Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Broomfield, CO. The Battlespace Awareness team develops tactical sense- and decision-making software that provides advanced capabilities for Anduril's command and control (C2) products. This software must work with various combinations of compute hardware, connected sensor/effector hardware, and supporting software services.  It must be effective, robust, and safe across various configurations, mission sets, and customer experiences. We need systems engineers who are capable of internalizing the nuances of these complex systems, and ensuring the technical success of an end-to-end solution. 

The Systems Engineer will support the design, development, and validation of advanced algorithmic capabilities including tracking, sensor/effector management, battlespace optimization, and threat forecasting.  This role bridges system design, requirements management, modeling and simulation (M&S), and verification & validation (V&V) activities.  You will integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations.  You will lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity. You will develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and analysis tools to evaluate system performance using both simulation and collected field data.   You will use data-driven analysis to verify customer requirements are met, and create artifacts to trace performance as the system evolves  You will own systems end-to-end, bringing an ability to identify and solve problems between the seams and push through to reach an ultimate desired outcome. 

• Lead the integration of emerging capabilities, bringing new products into the family of systems. This may include scoping and executing on a combination of hardware and software solutions, both internal and external to the company.
• Lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity.
• Responsible for scoping ideal system laydown, scrutinizing system performance, and ensuring the deployed system is meeting customer requirements.
• Also responsible for making tradeoffs across capability, timelines, risk, cost, and other factors to deliver an outcome. 
• Own systems end to end with the ability to identify and solve problems between the seams and push through to reach an ultimate outcome.

• 2-4 years of hardware and software systems engineering experience. Degree in Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field. 
• Demonstrated use of model based systems engineering in program lifecycle. Experience with tools such as: JAMA, Cameo, Matlab, Simulink, AFSIM.
• Proficiency with programming languages such as Python for data parsing, modeling & simulation, data analysis, and visualization.  
• Skilled in Statistics, AI/ML, Requirements, Testing, MBSE.
• Demonstrated proficiency in the application of engineering standards into engineering processes or requirements.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across cross-functional teams.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to developers, system leads, and customers.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and challenging problems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Up to 25% travel to customer sites.

• Familiarity with Linux OS.
• Familiarity with processes and constraints for real-time and safety-critical software.
• Working knowledge of C/C++ or Rust (coding full-time is not required but understanding is valuable)
• Understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
• Prior involvement in field exercises, test events, experimentation campaigns.
• Comfortable obtaining data from software platforms using command-line tools.
• Previous experience in a defense, aerospace, or naval environment.
• Experience with any of the following: radar, optics, tracking systems, distributed systems, autonomous systems, computer vision, wireless communication, software defined radios, networking. 

We request transcripts as part of the early application process to understand your academic background and how your coursework supports the skills deemed critical for the role. Transcripts help us assess your technical and analytical abilities, complementing our interview process in which we also evaluate practical experience and cultural fit. If you choose not to share your transcripts, you will need to provide detailed information regarding your academic performance in relevant courses, including projects and coursework specifics, to ensure we evaluate your academic accomplishments properly. If you do provide academic transcripts, feel free to redact non-technical information (e.g., student ID, dates, non-technical coursework, etc.). Unofficial transcripts obtained online acceptable for this assessment.
