<div class="content-intro"><p>Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.</p></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">ABOUT THE ROLE</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Anduril’s Air Defense team builds robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, we provide mission critical capabilities to warfighters. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats. Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Air Defense team develops, tests, deploys, and sustains our Family of Systems (FoS) in challenging operational environments worldwide.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">WHAT YOU'LL DO</span></p> <ul> <li><span class="s1">Architect, design, integrate and test communications networks across a variety of platforms and systems with a focus on C2 (Command and Control) Systems</span></li> <li><span class="s1">Design, configure, simulate and evaluate wireless tactical networking equipment, topologies, systems and datalinks</span></li> <li>Architect waveforms and systems to connect autonomous and human-operated systems</li> <li><span class="s1">Lead electrical integration of communications systems along with avionics modules and payloads into UAVs, ground vehicles, weapons systems, and C2 systems</span></li> <li><span class="s1">Support other functional engineering teams’ development effort with an understanding of wireless networks/communications, system impacts and trades</span></li> <li><span class="s1">Represent the communications and networking sub-systems in vehicle-level cross-disciplinary trade-off studies that define and optimize the design of various vehicles and systems and the environments in which they operate</span></li> </ul> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS</span></p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Master’s preferred</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">10+ years of experience with communication systems architecture and design for high reliability, resiliency, redundancy and/or fault tolerance, along with the ability to work collaboratively with other teams to define product requirements, develop specifications and conduct system level test</span></li> <li class="li2">Understanding of RF circuit design; including noise figure analysis, frequency synthesis, modulation, AGC, antenna matching, power amplifier biasing, and filtering</li> <li class="li2">Strong grasp of RF propagation, link budgets, and digital comms (modulation, FEC, spread spectrum, multiple access)</li> <li class="li2">Hands-on experience integrating and troubleshooting radios on vehicles or platforms</li> <li class="li2">Working knowledge of EMI/EMC and system-level integration issues (MIL-STD-461/464)</li> <li class="li2">Proficiency with RF test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope) and test automation</li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Understanding of hardware evaluation methodologies, including development of test cases/suites, performance monitoring, test automation, and data analysis.</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Understanding of RF propagation and link budget design</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Understanding of EMI and common system level integration issues</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Competence with test equipment such as vector network analyzers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, thermal chambers, and current-probes.</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Must be able to travel 25% of the time.</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Able to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance</span></li> </ul> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS</span></p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Understanding and familiarity with DO-254, DO-178C, DO-160</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Understanding and familiarity with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-882</span></li> <li class="li2">Experience designing sensitive RF Circuits</li> </ul> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li2">Basic understanding of RF frequency regulations</li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Experience with practical network configuration and troubleshooting</span></li> <li class="li2"><span class="s1">Experience with network modeling and simulation</span></li> <li class="li2">
