Early Career RF Mission Systems Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company focused on transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. Bringing the expertise and business model of leading 21st century companies to defense, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Its family of systems runs on Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control center.

As a Mission Systems Integration Engineer, you will handle lab and field integration and test of payloads, subcomponents, amplifiers, and antennas. Using your electronics and RF design, testing, and troubleshooting experience, you will rapidly test and integrate both internal and third-party RF systems. You will build test set-ups that validate device performance with RF equipment such as spectrum and network analyzers. You will also support flight test events and large-scale, customer-facing validation exercises, taking ownership of end-to-end system test and working across Anduril teams to integrate capabilities. This role suits someone who enjoys delivering next-generation autonomous capabilities and supporting actual vehicle integration.

What You'll Do

• Test RF systems, including power measurements, pulse response and synchronization, network analysis, and environmental and stress testing.
• Drive air vehicle integration and checkout efforts, including EMI and interference testing, installed performance testing, and data analysis.
• Validate system performance in close cooperation with design and system engineers.
• Work closely with AD&S teams to integrate and deliver high-performance systems to customers.
• Communicate results internally and externally in multiple formats.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Physics, Computer Science, or another relevant engineering discipline).
• Current or maintainable active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Domain expertise in communications, sensors, and effectors for RF systems (e.g., Radar, ESM, EW).
• Hands-on experience with RF test equipment and measurement techniques.
• Experience in RF system integration and validation, with more being better.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in a STEM field (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Physics, Computer Science, or another relevant engineering discipline).
• Hands-on experience integrating both analog and digital systems.
• Ability to develop software that enables closed-loop or automated testing of systems under test.
• Experience with simulation and modeling tools (e.g., ADS, Ansys HFSS, COMSOL, MATLAB).
• Advanced sensing domain experience (e.g., EO/IR, ESM, EA, EW, LIDAR).
• Experience with air vehicle design, integration, test, and fielding.
