Early Career RF Mission Systems Engineer

About the Role

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company focused on transforming military capabilities with advanced technology. We integrate 21st-century innovation into the defense industry, redesigning how military systems are developed, built, and sold. Our systems are powered by Lattice OS, an AI-driven operating system that provides a real-time, 3D command and control center. In an era of strategic competition, Anduril delivers cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military rapidly.

As a Mission Systems Integration Engineer, you will be responsible for lab & field integration and test of payloads, subcomponents, amplifiers, and antennas. You will utilize your expertise in electronics/RF design, testing, and troubleshooting to rapidly test and integrate internal and third-party RF systems. You will develop test setups for device performance validation using state-of-the-art RF equipment, such as spectrum and network analyzers. Your role will involve supporting flight test events and large-scale, customer-facing validation exercises. This requires end-to-end system test ownership and collaboration across Anduril internal teams for capability integration. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy building and delivering next-generation autonomous capabilities and supporting actual vehicle integration.

Key Responsibilities

• Test RF systems, including power measurements, pulse response/synchronization, network analysis, and environmental & stress testing.
• Drive air vehicle integration and checkout efforts, including EMI/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 successfully integrate and deliver high-performance systems to customers.
• Communicate results in multiple forms, both internally and externally.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• RF systems (e.g., Radar, ESM, EW) domain expertise in communications, sensors, and effectors.
• Hands-on experience with RF test equipment and measurement techniques.
• Experience in RF system integration and validation.
• Bachelor's Degree in a STEM field (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Physics, Computer Science, or other relevant engineering discipline).
• Ability to obtain or maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Masters Degree in a STEM field (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Physics, Computer Science, or other relevant engineering discipline).
• Hands-on experience with both analog and digital systems integration.
• Ability to develop software to enable 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, & fielding.
