About the role

Senior Sensor Engineer on Anduril's Air Defense team in Irvine, CA, focusing on integrating multi-modal sensor modalities (RF/radar, EO/IR, acoustic) into autonomous sensor-enabled kill chains and field-deployable defense systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own sensor hardware integrations end to end, from requirements through architecture, block diagram, and simulation
  • Evaluate performance of multiple sensing modalities such as RF/radar front ends, electro-optical/infrared assemblies, acoustic arrays, and other emerging sensor families. Drive the verification and validation strategy for perception and make the determination of which sensor fits which mission.
  • Integrate sensor hardware with the rest of the kill chain, working alongside effector, autonomy, and Lattice teams to turn a raw detection into a closed engagement
  • Represent Anduril externally as a technical authority on airborne sensing, including standards and industry bodies, sensor vendors and development partners, and technical engagement with customers

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of relevant experience and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
  • Demonstrated depth in multi-modal sensor architecture and sensor selection, with a working command of the detection physics that bounds each one
  • Ability to exercise high ownership over a complex system across design, integration, test, and production
  • Demonstrated experience specifying and verifying sensing performance quantitatively, including detection and false alarm characterization, range performance analysis, and validation of a model against measured data
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
