EO/IR Systems Engineer

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

The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies.

About The Job

Anduril Imaging's System Engineering team is seeking an EO/IR Sensor System Engineer to join our team. The System Engineering team is responsible for system architecture definition, trade analyses, and modeling/validating system performance for land, sea, air, and space EO/IR applications.

In this role, you will be responsible for defining EO/IR system architectures. You will perform radiometric performance modeling as well as laboratory, ground, and flight testing. To predict real-world performance, you will also model atmospheric and environmental effects for land, sea, and air targets. You will leverage your analyses to inform system-level architectural trades. As needed, you will also lead small teams of engineers from concept ideation through system definition and development.

You should have a track record of successfully working on fast-paced, highly technical, interdisciplinary teams. Proficiency in analytical tool chains or languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, C++) is required. Experience with industry standard EO/IR modeling software packages (e.g. MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM) and/or Model Based Systems Engineering (e.g. Cameo, SysML, etc) is a plus.

What You'll Do
  • Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models
  • Define system architectures via detailed trade studies and analyses
  • Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations
  • Lead and manage small teams of engineers, as necessary
  • Conceptualize and execute hardware testing to characterize system performance
  • Engage technically with the hardware, software, and mission teams to define, integrate, and deliver high performance systems to our customers
  • Validate models against laboratory and real world data
  • Coordinate and communicate with both external & internal stakeholders with varying degrees of technical background
  • Required Qualifications
    • Model development and validation in one or more domains relevant to remote sensing
    • Ability to decompose complex systems into functional parts, with clearly defined interfaces and requirements for each
    • Experience in system design and development from initial concept through test and delivery to customer
    • Strong laboratory skills (e.g. design of experiments)
    • Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance
    • Willingness to travel to test sites, as needed.
    Preferred Qualifications
    • Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms
    • Advanced sensing domain experience (e.g., EO/IR, LIDAR, lasers, scanning systems)
    • Experience with image processing techniques for EO/IR sensors
    • Demonstrated ability to lead a cross-functional team through design trades while meeting program deadlines
    • Advanced proficiency in an analytical tool chains/languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, C++)
    • Experience with MBSE techniques (e.g. Cameo, SysML, etc)
    • Experience with signature and/or scenario modeling/software packages (MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM)
    • Experience with electrical test equipment
    • Familiarity with mechanical design software
