Senior Electronic Warfare Mission Systems Engineer (Air Dominance)

Anduril Industries; Costa Mesa (CA); Presencial; USD 200.000 - 253.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Anduril Industries in California is seeking a Senior Mission Systems Engineer focused on Electronic Warfare to advance Group 5 autonomous platforms. You will own how EW systems sense, analyze, and act on the electromagnetic spectrum, driving from threat characterization to mission-ready solutions.

The role requires deep EW experience, proven capability to translate spectrum and power availability into deployment plans, and the ability to collaborate across RF, avionics, and software teams.

Formación

• 12+ years experience in electronic warfare systems engineering, EW capability development, or EW systems analysis
• Expert level understanding of the algorithms underlying electronic support and electronic attack systems — including channelization, pulse deinterleaving and PDW processing, emitter classification, direction finding and geolocation, and technique generation
• Expert level understanding of EW methods of employment — how ES and EA capabilities are tasked, planned, and employed against a threat laydown, and how technique selection changes with threat mode, geometry, and range
• Experience translating spectrum and power availability into mission-level employment recommendations and range envelopes
• Experience with RF and EW test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, vector network analyzers, and threat simulators
• Must hold a U.S. Secret security clearance
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance

Responsabilidades

• Define the electronic warfare capability of Group 5 autonomous platforms — threat sets to be countered, effects to be delivered, and the mission-level EW requirements that follow from them
• Own the electronic support chain end-to-end — wideband channelization, pulse descriptor word generation and deinterleaving, emitter classification and specific emitter identification, and direction finding and geolocation — and specify the onboard processing needed to close it
• Define and validate electronic attack employment — technique selection and generation, DRFM-based deception, jamming assignment and power management — and the geometry, timeline, and J/S and burn-through conditions under which each technique actually works
• Run and review EW link budgets — ERP, receiver sensitivity and dynamic range, probability of intercept, and antenna pattern and aperture placement — and translate the available margin into concrete employment options and range envelopes for the mission planners
• Build and maintain modeling, simulation, and threat-emulation environments to evaluate EW effectiveness against representative threat laydowns, and lab benches to characterize payload performance in contested and degraded conditions prior to flight
• Own the selection, integration, and lab-to-flight qualification of EW payloads — including vendor and subcontractor technical direction — within the power, cooling, SWaP, and mission-duration budgets of a Group 5 airframe
• Collaborate with RF, networking, avionics, autonomy, and software engineers to deconflict EW operation against the platform's own datalinks and sensors, and translate mission requirements into EW system engineering specifications traced through design, test, and flight
