Principal Radar Engineer, SpaceActive$293K

Anduril's Space team is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. Our mission is twofold: 1) develop autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms, and 2) deliver critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale.

What you'll do

• Architect and implement RF sensing technologies for space-based radar payloads and multi-domain platforms

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architectures and: concepts of operations for complex space missions

• Conduct rigorous system-of-systems analysis to decompose mission requirements: into radar subsystem specifications, link budgets, and performance trades

• Develop and validate advanced radar techniques, waveforms, signal processing: algorithms, and detection/tracking technologies

• Create and drive consensus on internal technical roadmaps for space radar capabilities

• Engage directly with DoD and IC customers to translate operational needs into technical requirements

What they're looking for

• Hands-on experience developing space-based RF sensing systems, including: satellite payload design, orbital mechanics considerations, and space environmental effects (radiation, thermal, plasma) on radar performance
• Proficiency in C++ for real-time embedded systems or signal processing pipelines
• Experience with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), GMTI (Ground Moving Target: Indicator), or space-based SIGINT modes
• Familiarity with spacecraft operations, space mission design tools, or: hardware-in-the-loop integration with ground stations
• Understanding of space software standards (e.g., cFS, SpaceVPX) and modular payload architectures
• Experience building and leading technical teams in the space domain,: including defining organizational strategy and vision
• Track record managing complex relationships with government customers across
