Staff Mission Systems Engineer, Electronic Warfare, Air Dominance & Strike, Active Clearance

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
• 12+ years experience in electronic warfare systems engineering, EW capability development, or EW systems analysis
• Expert level understanding of the algorithms underlying electronic support and electronic attack systems — including channelization, pulse deinterleaving and PDW processing, emitter classification, direction finding and geolocation, and technique generation
• Expert level understanding of EW methods of employment — how ES and EA capabilities are tasked, planned, and employed against a threat laydown, and how technique selection changes with threat mode, geometry, and range
• Demonstrated ability to build and critically review EW and RF link budgets, including ERP, receiver sensitivity and dynamic range, J/S ratio, burn-through range, and probability of intercept
• Experience translating spectrum and power availability into mission-level employment recommendations and range envelopes
• Experience with RF and EW test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, vector network analyzers, and threat simulators
• Advanced knowledge of systems engineering processes including test case development, requirements enumeration, unit vs. system level testing
• Ability to decompose mission-level and system-level requirements into EW engineering specifications and coordinate with requirements management to ensure traceability
• Proficiency in test script development and signal analysis using common languages (Python, Bash, MATLAB)
• Must hold a U.S. Secret security clearance
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• Ability to travel up to 30% as needed to support various efforts

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with electronic order of battle development, ELINT and ESM parametric data, or threat library generation and maintenance
• Experience with DRFM-based systems and digital technique generation
• Experience with electronic protection — radar warning receivers, self-protect suites, EMCON discipline, and LPI/LPD, anti-jam, or anti-spoof measures for the platform's own links
• Experience with EW modeling and simulation or campaign analysis tools (e.g., AFSIM, Suppressor, or equivalent) for effectiveness assessment and trade studies
• Experience with spectrum deconfliction between EW payloads and onboard communications, navigation, and sensor systems
• Operational or mission-planning background in EW or SIGINT — for example as an EWO, EW mission planner, or analyst supporting employment of these systems
• Familiarity with COMSEC procedures, key management infrastructure (KMI/SKL), and handling of cryptographic material
• Experience managing vendor or subcontractor technical deliverables, including COTS/GOTS evaluation, technical interchange meetings, and integration milestone tracking
• Hands on experience integrating EW payloads onto UAS or other autonomous platforms
• US Salary Range$200,000—$253,000 USD
• The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.

Responsibilities

• Define the electronic warfare capability of Group 5 autonomous platforms — threat sets to be countered, effects to be delivered, and the mission-level EW requirements that follow from them
• Own the electronic support chain end-to-end — wideband channelization, pulse descriptor word generation and deinterleaving, emitter classification and specific emitter identification, and direction finding and geolocation — and specify the onboard processing needed to close it
• Define and validate electronic attack employment — technique selection and generation, DRFM-based deception, jamming assignment and power management — and the geometry, timeline, and J/S and burn-through conditions under which each technique actually works
• Run and review EW link budgets — ERP, receiver sensitivity and dynamic range, probability of intercept, and antenna pattern and aperture placement — and translate the available margin into concrete employment options and range envelopes for the mission planners
• Build and maintain modeling, simulation, and threat-emulation environments to evaluate EW effectiveness against representative threat laydowns, and lab benches to characterize payload performance in contested and degraded conditions prior to flight
• Own the selection, integration, and lab-to-flight qualification of EW payloads — including vendor and subcontractor technical direction — within the power, cooling, SWaP, and mission-duration budgets of a Group 5 airframe
• Collaborate with RF, networking, avionics, autonomy, and software engineers to deconflict EW operation against the platform's own datalinks and sensors, and translate mission requirements into EW system engineering specifications traced through design, test, and flight
