Job description

About the Team

At Anduril, our Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team specializes in solving complex, real‑world problems through cutting‑edge algorithms and intelligent software integrations. Operating in small, innovative teams, we push the boundaries of what’s possible to deliver advanced technologies with mission‑critical applications. We are currently seeking highly talented technologists to join our mission and redefine the future of defense technology.

About the Job

We are looking to hire a Systems Engineer in Broomfield, CO. The Battlespace Awareness team develops tactical sense‑ and decision‑making software that provides advanced capabilities for Anduril’s command and control products. This software must work with various combinations of compute hardware, connected sensor/effector hardware, and supporting software services. It must be effective, robust, and safe across various configurations, mission sets, and customer experiences.

What You’ll Do

The Systems Engineer will support the design, development, and validation of advanced algorithmic capabilities including tracking, sensor/effector management, battlespace optimization, and threat forecasting. This role bridges system design, requirements management, modeling and simulation, and verification & validation activities. You will integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations, lead requirements decomposition across cross‑functional teams, and develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and analysis tools to evaluate system performance using simulation and field data.

• Develop and implement sophisticated modeling and simulation frameworks to validate algorithmic performance, test system capabilities under various scenarios, and provide data‑driven insights for continuous improvement.
• Lead requirements decomposition across cross‑functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity.
• Scope ideal system laydown, scrutinize system performance, and ensure the deployed system meets customer requirements.
• Own systems end‑to‑end, identifying and solving problems between seams and pushing through to the desired outcome.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of hardware and software systems engineering experience; degree in Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Demonstrated use of model‑based systems engineering in program lifecycle; experience with tools such as JAMA, Cameo, Matlab, Simulink, AFSIM.
• Proficiency with programming languages such as Python for data parsing, modeling & simulation, data analysis, and visualization.
• Skilled in Statistics, AI/ML, Requirements, Testing, MBSE.
• Demonstrated proficiency in applying engineering standards to engineering processes or requirements.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across cross‑functional teams.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to developers, system leads, and customers.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and challenging problems.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Up to 25% travel to customer sites.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Linux OS.
• Familiarity with processes and constraints for real‑time and safety‑critical software.
• Working knowledge of C/C++ or Rust (coding full‑time is not required but understanding is valuable).
• Understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
• Prior involvement in field exercises, test events, experimentation campaigns.
• Comfortable obtaining data from software platforms using command‑line tools.
• Previous experience in a defense, aerospace, or naval environment.
• Experience with robotics, autonomous systems, radar, optics, computer vision, wireless communication, software defined radios, networking.
• Proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for data parsing and data visualization.
