The opportunity

Anduril's Electronic Warfare (EW) division builds next-generation electronic warfare platforms — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems that are fielded, operational, and scaling fast. The EW team operates at a tempo the defense industry isn't used to: delivering novel…

What you'll do

  • Design and develop complete RF radio architectures (receivers, transmitters,: transceivers) from requirements through production.

  • Architect and design RF up-conversion and down-conversion signal chains,: optimizing between noise, distortion, and dynamic range trade-offs.

  • Modeling, simulation, analysis, design, test, and optimization of active and: passive RF and/or mixed signal circuits.

  • Select, characterize, and integrate high-speed data converters (ADCs and: DACs) and associated baseband driving, filtering, and interface circuits.

  • Design and optimize clock trees, reference oscillators, and LO/synthesizer: architectures (DDS, PLL, VCO-based) with emphasis on phase noise, spurious, and settling time.

  • Perform system-level spur analyses (mixer spurs, synthesizer harmonics, clock: coupling, image rejection) and develop mitigation strategies.

What they're looking for

  • Experience with 3D EM modeling and simulation (Ansys HFSS, CST, Feko) and: nonlinear circuit simulation (harmonic balance, envelope) using tools like AWR Microwave Office.
  • Familiar with matching circuit, RF filter design, and feedback / control loop: design (AGC, ALC, power control).
  • Experience with RF shielding, cavity design, and isolation techniques for leakage mitigation.
  • Experience with NPI, manufacturing test development, and production transitions.
  • Familiar with FPGA or digital backend integration with RF front ends.
  • Experience with PCB design / layout and guiding layout engineers.
  • Familiar with programming languages like Python for analysis and test automation.
  • Familiar with embedded Linux.
