The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies.

Anduril Imaging's System Engineering team is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team. The System Engineering team is responsible for system architecture definition, trade analyses, and modeling/validating system performance for land, sea, air, and space EO/IR applications.

In this role, you will be responsible for defining active EO/IR system architectures. You will perform radiometric performance modeling as well as laboratory, ground, and flight testing. To predict real-world performance, you will also model atmospheric and environmental effects for land, sea, and air targets.

You will leverage your analyses to inform system-level architectural trades. As needed, you will also lead small teams of engineers from concept ideation through system definition and development.

You should have a track record of successfully working on fast-paced, highly technical, interdisciplinary teams. Proficiency in analytical toolchains or languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python) is required. Experience with industry standard EO/IR modeling software packages (e.g. MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM) is a plus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define system architectures via detailed trade studies and analyses.

• Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models.

• Take ownership over the development of prototype sensor systems in a lab environment.

• Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations.

• Engage technically with the hardware, software, and mission teams to define, integrate, and deliver high performance systems to our customers.

• Validate models against laboratory and real-world data.

• Coordinate and communicate with both external & internal stakeholders with varying degrees of technical background.

Requirements:

• Model development and validation in one or more domains relevant to remote sensing.

• Ability to decompose complex systems into functional parts, with clearly defined interfaces and requirements for each.

• Experience in system design and development from initial concept through test and delivery to customer.

• Strong laboratory skills (rapid prototyping, design of experiments) and familiarity with opto-electrical test and measurement equipment.

• Willingness to travel to test sites, as needed.

• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms.

• Active and passive sensing domain experience (e.g., LiDAR, EO/IR, Radar).

• Experience with laser systems, including opto-mechanical scanning and beam steering techniques.

• Knowledge of electro-mechanical control systems, including their performance requirements and verification methodologies.

• Experience with LiDAR/Radar signal processing techniques, and knowledge of their implementation on real-time embedded platforms (FPGA, MCU, etc.).

• Experience with signature and/or scenario modeling/software packages (MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM).

Salary: The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
