Lead Systems Engineer, Battlespace

Anduril Industries • Waltham, MA

6d • Onsite

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hardware and software systems engineering experience.
• Degree in Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field.
• 1+ year of people management experience.
• Demonstrated use of model based systems engineering in program lifecycle.
• Experience with tools such as: JAMA, Cameo, Matlab, Simulink, AFSIM.
• Proficiency with programming languages such as Python for data parsing, modeling & simulation, data analysis, and visualization.
• Skilled in Statistics, AI/ML, Requirements, Testing, MBSE.
• Demonstrated proficiency in the application of engineering standards into engineering processes or requirements.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across cross-functional teams.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to developers, system leads, and customers.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and challenging problems.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Systems Safety experience.
• Familiarity with Linux OS.
• Familiarity with processes and constraints for real-time and safety-critical software.
• Working knowledge of C/C++ or Rust (coding full-time is not required but understanding is valuable).
• Understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
• Prior involvement in field exercises, test events, experimentation campaigns.
• Comfortable obtaining data from software platforms using command-line tools.
• Previous experience in a defense, aerospace, or naval environment.
• Experience with any of the following: radar, optics, tracking systems, distributed systems, autonomous systems, computer vision, wireless communication, software defined radios, networking.
• Exceptional proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for data parsing and data visualization.

Responsibilities

• Support the design, development, and validation of advanced algorithmic capabilities including tracking, sensor/effector management, battlespace optimization, and threat forecasting.
• Integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations.
• Lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity.
• Develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and analysis tools to evaluate system performance using both simulation and collected field data.
• Use data-driven analysis to verify customer requirements are met, and create artifacts to trace performance as the system evolves.
• 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.
• Develop and execute high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments to validate algorithm performance, evaluate system capabilities against requirements, and predict real-world performance before field deployment.
• Scrutinize 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.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees.
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
