About The Team
Anduril's Space team is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. Our mission is twofold: 1) develop autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms, and 2) deliver critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale. We transform products and capabilities across space command and control (C2), mission management, and space operations from early concepts into fully operational systems by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our integrated approach, we design and deploy space software systems using advanced algorithms, distributed architectures, and resilient infrastructure—delivering reliable, mission-critical capabilities that support operators across orbital and ground-based assets. Space Systems hires software engineers and systems engineers who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from satellite operations software to space domain awareness platforms. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous space systems and ground software products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environments, supporting the DOD and IC in defending our national interests in space.
About The Job
Anduril is hiring Senior Radar Engineers to architect and deliver next-generation space-based radar systems that will redefine orbital ISR and tactical sensing. We're building software-defined RF payloads designed to break free from traditional satellite development timelines, and we need engineers who can operate at the intersection of advanced electromagnetics, real-time signal processing, and autonomous space operations. Depending on your level and fit, you'll lead a high-performing radar engineering team, direct cross-functional groups spanning payload development and mission software, or own a broader technical portfolio integrating space-based sensors with Anduril's C2 infrastructure. These roles combine hands-on technical leadership with people management and customer engagement, driving complex space programs from concept through launch to on-orbit operations. More senior candidates will additionally own multi-team strategy, executive-level customer relationships, and portfolio-scale outcomes.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Architect and implement RF sensing technologies for space-based radar payloads and multi-domain platforms
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architectures and concepts of operations for complex space missions
- Conduct rigorous system-of-systems analysis to decompose mission requirements into radar subsystem specifications, link budgets, and performance trades
- Develop and validate advanced radar techniques, waveforms, signal processing algorithms, and detection/tracking technologies
- Create and drive consensus on internal technical roadmaps for space radar capabilities
- Engage directly with DoD and IC customers to translate operational needs into technical requirements
- Provide technical leadership to program management and business development teams to support strategic decision-making
- Mentor and grow team members in radar theory, space systems engineering, and best practices
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related technical field (advanced degree preferred)
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in radar systems engineering, including hardware, algorithms, or software development
- Proven track record in a technical leadership role developing high-performance defense radar systems
- Strong expertise in radar architecture, waveform design, radar modes, and system-level modeling
- Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for radar simulation and analysis
- Prior experience supporting DoD or IC programs
- Active U.S. Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Hands-on experience developing space-based RF sensing systems, including satellite payload design, orbital mechanics considerations, and space environmental effects (radiation, thermal, plasma) on radar performance
- Proficiency in C++ for real-time embedded systems or signal processing pipelines
- Experience with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indicator), or space-based SIGINT modes
- Understanding of radar antenna development, technology, and integration
- Familiarity with spacecraft operations, space mission design tools, or hardware-in-the-loop integration with ground stations
- Understanding of space software standards (e.g., cFS, SpaceVPX) and modular payload architectures
