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. Our commitment doesn’t end with academic research or proof‑of‑concept experiments; we measure our success by the real‑world impact of our deployed solutions. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s vision — “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” — we aim to achieve groundbreaking results in path planning, route optimization, and autonomous mission execution at the command and control layer. 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 to join our rapidly growing team in Waltham, MA. The Battlespace Awareness team develops tactical sense‑and‑decision‑making software that provides advanced capabilities for Anduril’s command and control (C2) 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. We need systems engineers who are capable of internalizing the nuances of these complex systems, and ensuring the technical success of an end‑to‑end solution.

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 (M&S), and verification & validation (V&V) activities. You will integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations. You will lead requirements decomposition across cross‑functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity. You will develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and analysis tools to evaluate system performance using both simulation and field data. You will use data‑driven analysis to verify customer requirements are met, and create artifacts to trace performance as the system evolves. You will own systems end‑to‑end, bringing an ability to identify and solve problems between the seams and push through to reach an ultimate desired outcome. You will 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.

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 the application of engineering standards into 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.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

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 any of the following: robotics, autonomous systems, radar, optics, computer vision, wireless communication, software‑defined radios, networking.
• Proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for data parsing and visualization.

Salary

US Salary Range: $143,000—$191,000 USD. 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 work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full‑time offers and are considered part of Anduril’s total compensation package.

Benefits

Anduril offers top‑tier benefits for full‑time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits available at little to no cost to employees, ensuring support in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
