The opportunity

Anduril's Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) mission systems team is seeking a Mission Systems Engineer with a focus on C2 Networking to join our team. The AD&S mission systems team is responsible for developing end-to-end "mission-ized" autonomous air systems capable of delivering…

What you'll do

  • Architect and evolve resilient, multi-classification network topologies that: keep autonomous air platforms connected across contested and degraded RF environments

  • Design and validate unicast and multicast data flows end-to-end -: from onboard compute through tactical datalinks to ground-based C2 nodes -- latency, throughput, and reliability

  • Own the selection, integration, and lab-to-flight qualification of networking: hardware and software, including tactical radios, routers, and encryption devices

  • Build and maintain network simulation and emulation environments to model: mission scenarios, characterize link budgets, and stress-test failover behavior

  • Develop automated test scripts and traffic-generation harnesses (Python,: Bash) to validate QoS policies, multicast routing (IGMP/PIM), and unicast routing (OSPF/BGP/PBR) under realistic load

  • Collaborate with RF, avionics, and software engineers to integrate networking: stacks onto vehicle platforms and troubleshoot issues across layers 1-7 during lab, ground, and flight test events

What they're looking for

  • Experience with cross-domain solutions (CDS), multi-level security (MLS): network architectures, or NSA-evaluated network devices such as HAIPE inline encryptors or Type 1 cryptographic equipment
  • Experience with mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), delay-tolerant networking: (DTN), or dynamic routing in high-mobility, topology-variable environments
  • Experience with network modeling and simulation tools such as EMANE, ns-3,: CORE, or equivalent environments for evaluating network performance and conducting trade studies
  • Experience managing vendor or subcontractor technical deliverables, including: COTS/GOTS evaluation, technical interchange meetings, and integration milestone tracking
  • Familiarity with COMSEC procedures, key management infrastructure (KMI/SKL),: and handling of cryptographic material
  • Familiarity with tactical radios and waveforms used in DoD operational environments
  • Familiarity with End-to-End RF integration including Unmanned Aerial Systems
  • Hands on experience with network design, test, and operation of: communications systems over various RF apertures
