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 real-time, 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.
The Radar team at Anduril develops state-of-the-art airborne sensing capabilities for air-to-air surveillance, aerial threat detection, and intelligence gathering missions. Our software-defined radars provide persistent, all-weather detection and tracking of aerial targets and ground threats from airborne platforms, seamlessly integrating with Lattice OS to enable autonomous decision-making and multi-sensor fusion. We're building next-generation airborne radar systems that are rapidly deployable, adaptable across multiple aircraft platforms, and designed for modern air combat operations—from protecting airspace to enabling advanced airborne early warning and fire control capabilities.
This position serves as a technical leader responsible for driving the end-to-end design of airborne radar systems. You will bridge the gap between operational mission needs and technical execution, engaging directly with government customers and operational users to translate requirements into robust solutions. The role involves providing technical leadership in software development for radar mode implementation and real-time processing, while also mentoring team members in radar theory and systems engineering. You will create and communicate internal development roadmaps, establishing consensus for airborne radar capabilities and supporting strategic decision-making for programmatic and business leadership.
