About The Position

ABOUT THE TEAM The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the-art radar systems, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking to hire a Systems Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Broomfield, CO. 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. WHAT YOU’LL DO The Systems Engineer will support the design, development, and validation of advanced algorithmic capabilities including tracking, sensor/effector management, battlespace optimization, and threat forecasting. This role bridges system design, requirements management, modeling and simulation (M&S), and verification & validation (V&V) activities. You will integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations. You will lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity. You will develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and analysis tools to evaluate system performance using both simulation and collected field data. You will use data-driven analysis to verify customer requirements are met, and create artifacts to trace performance as the system evolves You will 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. Lead the integration of emerging capabilities, bringing new products into the family of systems. This may include scoping and executing on a combination of hardware and software solutions, both internal and external to the company. Lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity. Responsible for scoping ideal system laydown, scrutinizing system performance, and ensuring the deployed system is meeting customer requirements. Also responsible for making tradeoffs across capability, timelines, risk, cost, and other factors to deliver an outcome. Own systems end to end with the ability to identify and solve problems between the seams and push through to reach an ultimate outcome.
