ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Cyber is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of capabilities to enable offensive cyber missions. Cyber is a new business line at Anduril, and relies upon our fleet of autonomous vehicles, Lattice operating system, mesh networks, and other hardware products to engage in cyber operations at the edge. We design and build novel solutions to deploy cyber capabilities in unconventional or difficult to reach environments Anduril Cyber is hiring a Software Engineer focused on embedded and mission software integration. Strong candidates may lean more heavily toward embedded-platform or mission/backend work, but should be comfortable collaborating across adjacent layers that connect devices, operators, and data products.
ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril Cyber is hiring an RF Systems Engineer with broad technical range across RF architecture, systems engineering, verification, field integration, and cross-functional technical leadership. The role is aimed at a senior hands-on engineer who can connect requirements, design trades, integration realities, and productization decisions across the full system.
  • Own end-to-end RF and system architecture trade studies across hardware, software, DSP, integration, and operational constraints.
  • Develop requirements, verification strategies, interface definitions, and engineering artifacts that keep complex programs technically coherent.
  • Lead technical reviews, customer-facing discussions, and cross-disciplinary design decisions with clear engineering judgment.
  • Drive integration problem-solving across lab, field, and production-oriented contexts while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and schedule.
  • Use structured systems-engineering methods to identify risks, close gaps, and improve confidence in the overall architecture.
  • Serve as a player-coach technical leader who can move fluidly between deep technical details and broader program-level tradeoffs.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Strong experience in systems engineering for RF, digital, or mixed-signal systems with real ownership of architecture and integration outcomes.
  • Demonstrated skill in requirements development, interface definition, verification planning, and technical risk management.
  • Broad RF systems understanding, including receiver/transmitter chains, timing/synchronization concerns, and practical integration constraints.
  • Ability to lead technical trade studies across performance, cost, manufacturability, reliability, and schedule.
  • Experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders in technical reviews, requirements discussions, or architecture briefings.
  • Hands-on problem-solving ability across software, hardware, networking, and field integration boundaries.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to make complex systems understandable to mixed audiences.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience with reverse engineering legacy systems or reconstructing architecture where documentation is incomplete.
  • Background with FPGA/SoC-based platforms, high-speed digital systems, or multi-disciplinary hardware development programs.
  • Familiarity with qualification/compliance-oriented verification environments and structured engineering lifecycle processes.
  • Experience mentoring engineers or leading small technical teams through design, integration, and field support phases.
  • Track record of productization-oriented decision making in addition to early-phase system architecture work.
