Proficiency in analytical toolchains or languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python) is required. Experience with industry standard EO/IR modeling software packages (e.g. MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM) is a plus. Prior experience working with space sensors and systems is highly desirable., * 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 (rapid prototyping, design of experiments) and familiarity with opto-electrical test and measurement equipment. * Willingness to travel to test sites, as needed. * Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance., * Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms * Active and passive sensing domain experience (e.g., LiDAR, EO/IR, Radar) * Experience with laser systems, including opto-mechanical scanning and beam steering techniques. * Knowledge of electro-mechanical control systems, including their performance requirements and verification methodologies. * Experience with LiDAR/Radar signal processing techniques, and knowledge of their implementation on real-time embedded platforms (FPGA, MCU, etc.). * Experience with signature and/or scenario modeling/software packages (MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM). * Space domain experience (architecting sensors for operation in space environments) ## Description The Space Imaging team is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team. The Imaging Space team is responsible for system architecture definition, trade analyses, and modeling/validating system performance for spaceborne EO/IR systems. In this role, you will be responsible for defining active 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., * Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models. * Take ownership over the development of prototype sensor systems in a lab environment. * Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations. * 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., To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates. * Please always verify communications: + Direct from Anduril: If you receive an email from one of our recruiters, it will only come from an @anduril.com address. + Via Agency Partner: If contacted by a recruiting agency for an Anduril role, their email will clearly identify their agency.
