Senior RF Systems Engineer: Embedded & Architecture Lead

Anduril Industries; Washington; On-site; USD 166,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries Cyber is seeking an experienced RF Systems Engineer to lead end-to-end architecture, requirements, and integration for complex defense systems. You will collaborate with hardware, software, and field teams to translate needs into coherent designs.

Ideal candidates bring senior hands-on experience across RF, DSP, and mixed-signal domains, and can balance performance with manufacturability, risk, and schedules while communicating clearly to mixed audiences.

Qualifications

• Strong experience in systems engineering for RF, digital, or mixed-signal systems with real ownership of architecture and integration outcomes.
• Broad RF systems understanding, including receiver/transmitter chains, timing/synchronization concerns, and practical integration constraints.
• Ability to lead technical trade studies across performance, cost, manufacturability, reliability, and schedule.
• Experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders in technical reviews, requirements discussions, or architecture briefings.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end RF and system architecture trade studies across hardware, software, DSP, integration, and operational constraints.
• Develop requirements, verification strategies, interface definitions, and engineering artifacts that keep complex programs technically coherent.
• Lead technical reviews, customer-facing discussions, and cross-disciplinary design decisions with clear engineering judgment.
• Drive integration problem-solving across lab, field, and production-oriented contexts while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule.
• Use structured systems-engineering methods to identify risks, close gaps, and improve confidence in the overall architecture.
• Serve as a player-coach technical leader who can move fluidly between deep technical details and broader program-level tradeoffs.
