Systems Engineer

Anduril’s Counter Intrusion team develops integrated robotic systems designed to provide multi-domain situational awareness and force protection across land, sea, and air. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly detect and identify potential threats. close the kill chain against a broad range of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats.
The Sentry Team drives end-to-end hardware product development, driving system requirements from open-ended CONOPS prior to overseeing the full product development lifecycle, ensuring scalable, production and mission-ready solutions that meet the performance, reliability, and survivability demands of the U.S. Military and other key stakeholders. The team serves as the key system integrator of the Anduril Sentry Family of Systems (FoS) through collaboration across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success teams.

The Sentry Engineering team builds hardware products and systems that leverage artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. With an AI-enabled edge processing, continuous 360 pan / tilt capability, and a variety of radars and sensors, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect, and track objects of interest to bring increased awareness to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports and other critical infrastructure.
We are looking for a Systems Engineer to join our growing team in Irvine, CA. This role will support rapidly developed, ruggedized product introduction in addition to scaling legacy design concepts to support full-rate production with full product traceability. You will be directly responsible for defining system requirements from both loose “desirements” and contractual requirements to develop a comprehensive set of requirements with an actionable verification strategy.
The ideal candidate will partner very closely with the Hardware and Software Engineering, Program Management, and Air Defense cross-functional teams. They will maintain a rapid prototyping mindset while ensuring concepts are developed with the required engineering rigor to scale rapidly to production-ready designs capable of reliable deployment throughout the world.

• Lead the integration of emerging capabilities, bringing new products into Anduril’s family of Counter Intrusion and Air Defense 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.
• Develop, review, and execute comprehensive test plans across all program phases, including development, integration, verification, and acceptance testing.
• 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.

• Proven ability to excel in ambiguous environments.
• 3-8 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.
• Demonstrated proficiency in the application of engineering standards into engineering processes or requirements.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across cross-functional teams.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and challenging problems.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Up to 25% travel to customer sites.

• Previous experience in a defense, naval, or aerospace environment.
• Experience with any of the following: robotics, autonomous systems, radar, optics, computer vision, wireless communication, software defined radios, networking.
• Exceptional proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for data parsing and data visualization.
