Working with Anduril's customers and their networking engineers to architect connectivity solutions

Calculating RF link budgets, assessing risk of lost links and commensurate fallback solutions, and presenting such findings to operations and engineering teams

Designing and maintaining complex network laydowns for ground-based air defense systems, force protection sensor suites, UAVs, and space systems
