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 Senior 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 Senior 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’ll integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations. You’ll 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 collected field data. You’ll use data-driven analysis to verify customer requirements are met, and create artifacts to trace performance as the system evolves. You’ll 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.

Lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity.

Responsible for scoping ideal system laydown, scrutinizing system performance, and ensuring the deployed system is meeting customer requirements.

Own systems end to end with the ability to identify and solve problems between the seams and push through to reach an ultimate outcome.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ 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: Matlab, AFSIM.
