Senior Radar Engineer, Space

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. About The Team Anduril's Space team is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. Our mission is twofold: 1) develop autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms, and 2) deliver critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale. We transform products and capabilities across space command and control (C2), mission management, and space operations from early concepts into fully operational systems by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our integrated approach, we design and deploy space software systems using advanced algorithms, distributed architectures, and resilient infrastructure—delivering reliable, mission-critical capabilities that support operators across orbital and ground-based assets. Space Systems hires software engineers and systems engineers who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from satellite operations software to space domain awareness platforms. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous space systems and ground software products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environments, supporting the DOD and IC in defending our national interests in space. About The Job Anduril is hiring Senior Radar Engineers to architect and deliver next-generation space-based radar systems that will redefine orbital ISR and tactical sensing. We're building software-defined RF payloads designed to break free from traditional satellite development timelines, and we need engineers who can operate at the intersection of advanced electromagnetics, real-time signal processing, and autonomous space operations. Depending on your level and fit, you'll lead a high-performing radar engineering team, direct cross-functional groups spanning payload development and mission software, or own a broader technical portfolio integrating space-based sensors with Anduril's C2 infrastructure. These roles combine hands-on technical leadership with people management and customer engagement, driving complex space programs from concept through launch to on-orbit operations. More senior candidates will additionally own multi-team strategy, executive-level customer relationships, and portfolio-scale outcomes. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Architect and implement RF sensing technologies for space-based radar payloads and multi-domain platforms Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architectures and concepts of operations for complex space missions Conduct rigorous system-of-systems analysis to decompose mission requirements into radar subsystem specifications, link budgets, and performance trades Develop and validate advanced radar techniques, waveforms, signal processing algorithms, and detection/tracking technologies Create and drive consensus on internal technical roadmaps for space radar capabilities Engage directly with DoD and IC customers to translate operational needs into technical requirements Provide technical leadership to program management and business development teams to support strategic decision-making Mentor and grow team members in radar theory, space systems engineering, and best practices REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics
