About the role
Systems Engineer role for Anduril's air defense work with the U.S. Army, focusing on deploying and sustaining counter-UAS systems that integrate Pulsar, Wisp, and other sensors/effectors across fielded and deployable configurations.
Responsibilities
- Own requirements and verification for your scope. Write and maintain the requirements and verification records, tie each requirement to a test, and produce and defend your portion of formal design reviews. Present your results in customer and program reviews.
- Integrate, calibrate, and test the hardware. Configure and integrate systems before they ship, and run them through burn-in, calibration, and test at the range. Keep interface documentation matched to what the hardware actually does.
- Equip the people who run it. Write the site requirements, setup and calibration procedures, checklists, and training content that field teams and operators use. Keep fielded systems ready through maintenance, software updates, and configuration tracking, so what deploys matches what was validated.
- Support the system in the field. Root-cause issues from logs and data, lead technical recovery for your scope, and travel to the site when the problem needs hands on the equipment. Bring what you learn back to the product teams that can fix it.
Qualifications
- Engineering, science, or other technical degree, or equivalent practical experience
- 4+ years of systems engineering or related engineering experience on hardware and software systems
- Ownership of a subsystem, interface, or other defined technical scope through verification and fielding, with accountability for whether it actually worked, not only for its design artifacts
- Ability to explain the architecture and interfaces of a subsystem you owned, and a record of keeping interface documentation consistent with observed behavior
- Ability to turn a defined scope into clear requirements and verification steps, then plan and run the test that shows it works
- Experience debugging on real hardware and real data, including root-causing field issues with limited supervision
- Experience presenting your own results to a technical working group or customer, and producing your portion of a formal design review
- Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time on average, with periods of up to 50% during test events and deployments
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
