Senior Space-Based Radar Engineer

Anduril-1; Waltham (MA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Space is hiring Senior Radar Engineers to architect and deliver 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.

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

Responsibilities

• 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
