Lead Systems Engineer, Battlespace

About the role

The Systems Engineer Lead position is within Anduril Industries' Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team. This team develops tactical sense- and decision-making software for Anduril's command and control (C2) products. The Systems Engineer Lead will support the design, development, and validation of advanced algorithmic capabilities, including tracking, sensor/effector management, battlespace optimization, and threat forecasting.

Responsibilities

• Support the design, development, and validation of advanced algorithmic capabilities including tracking, sensor/effector management, battlespace optimization, and threat forecasting.
• Bridge system design, requirements management, modeling and simulation (M&S), and verification & validation (V&V) activities.
• Integrate emerging capabilities into new products and system configurations.
• Lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity.
• Develop test plans, acceptance criteria, and analysis tools to evaluate system performance using both simulation and collected field data.
• Use data-driven analysis to verify customer requirements are met, and create artifacts to trace performance as the system evolves.
• Owning systems end-to-end, bringing an ability to identify and solve problems between the seams and push through to reach an ultimate desired outcome.
• Develop and execute high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments to validate algorithm performance, evaluate system capabilities against requirements, and predict real-world performance before field deployment.
• Lead requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, defining success in the face of ambiguity.
• Ensure the technical success of an end-to-end solution.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hardware and software systems engineering experience.
• Degree in Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field.
• 1+ year of people management experience.
• Demonstrated use of model based systems engineering in program lifecycle.
• Experience with tools such as: JAMA, Cameo, Matlab, Simulink, AFSIM.
• Proficiency with programming languages such as Python for data parsing, modeling & simulation, data analysis, and visualization.
• Skilled in Statistics, AI/ML, Requirements, Testing, MBSE.
• Demonstrated proficiency in the application of engineering standards into engineering processes or requirements.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across cross-functional teams.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to developers, system leads, and customers.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and challenging problems.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Up to 25% travel to customer sites.

Qualifications

• Systems Safety experience.
• Familiarity with Linux OS.
• Familiarity with processes and constraints for real-time and safety-critical software.
• Working knowledge of C/C++ or Rust (coding full-time is not required but understanding is valuable).
• Understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
• Prior involvement in field exercises, test events, experimentation campaigns.
• Comfortable obtaining data from software platforms using command-line tools.
• Experience with any of the following: radar, optics, tracking systems, distributed systems, autonomous systems, computer vision, wireless communication, software defined radios, networking.
• Exceptional proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for data parsing and data visualization.
