Detecting a small, fast, low-flying drone is the hardest problem in the counter-UAS kill chain, and everything downstream depends on getting it right. We are looking for a Senior Radar Engineer to join our rapidly growing Air Defense team based in Irvine, CA. In this role, you will own the architecture, performance, and detection and tracking performance of networked radar systems that feed our family of systems, working alongside effector, autonomy, and Lattice teams to turn a raw detection into a closed kill chain.
This will require deep radar systems expertise, the judgment to make hard performance trades against real threat sets, and the willingness to stay hands-on from sensor performance through field integration.
Anduril’s Air Defense team builds autonomous robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. This team is the nexus of premier Anduril-built products such as Roadrunner, Sentry, Anvil, Pulsar, and Wisp integrated into a software-enabled Air Defense family of systems tailored to the modern battle-space. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, we provide critical force protection capabilities to support the warfighter.
Our autonomous family of networked sensors and effectors enables our users to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats that continue to evolve at a rapid pace.
$146,000—$194,000 USD
