The opportunity

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U. S.

What you'll do

  • Lead the development of discrimination algorithms for EO/IR sensors that: classify and distinguish threats from decoys, debris, and clutter in real-time operational environments

  • Design and implement signal processing pipelines including detection: algorithms, feature extraction, image processing, and measurement generation from sensor data

  • Develop and integrate advanced decision logic to enhance classification: performance and adapt to evolving threat environments

  • Analyze and optimize algorithms for EO/IR sensor phenomenology including: noise characteristics, SNR considerations, resolution limits, and environmental effects

  • Build physics-based models and conduct modeling and simulation including: Monte Carlo analysis, recorded sensor playback, and hardware-in-the-loop testing to validate discrimination performance

  • Develop analysis tools to characterize discrimination algorithm performance: under challenging conditions such as countermeasures, clutter, and degraded sensing environments

What they're looking for

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related technical field
  • Experience with space or missile defense systems, threat discrimination, or intercept systems
  • Proven expertise developing advanced decision logic or adaptive algorithms for classification workflows
  • Demonstrated experience with pattern recognition, computer vision, or image: processing for defense applications
  • Experience handling discrimination challenges including countermeasures,: spoofing, and contested/degraded sensing environments
  • Background in fire control systems, guidance/navigation/control (GNC) integration, or kill vehicle systems
  • Experience with radar systems, RF signal processing, or multi-modal sensor fusion
  • Demonstrated experience working within systems engineering processes: including requirements management, trade studies, and verification/validation
