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

  • Own the end-to-end security architecture for assigned space systems, across: the space, ground, link, and user segments

  • Derive security requirements from customer needs, threat assessments, and: applicable space security policy, then flow them down to subsystem specifications

  • Design protections for command and telemetry links, including authentication,: encryption, anti-replay, and key management approaches

  • Define the onboard security foundation: secure boot, hardware root of trust, firmware and software integrity, memory protection, and secure update paths for systems that can't be physically touched after launch

  • Build and maintain threat models and attack trees for the full mission, and use them to drive design decisions

  • Partner with flight software, avionics, RF, and ground REs to turn security: requirements into working implementations, then review designs and code against them

What they're looking for

  • Experience designing security architectures for complex, multi-segment: systems (spacecraft bus, payload, ground segment, RF/comms links)
  • Ability to decompose system-level security architecture into subsystem-level: requirements that engineering teams can actually build and test against
  • Hands-on understanding of threat modeling and the ability to translate threat: intelligence into concrete design decisions
  • Experience working across disciplines: flight software, avionics, RF/comms, ground systems — and enough technical depth in each to hold your own with the subsystem REs
  • Familiarity with the full system lifecycle from requirements through verification and on-orbit operations
  • Experience with supply chain security as it applies to space or defense systems
  • Ability to make and defend engineering trade-offs where security competes with schedule, mass, power, or cost
  • Direct experience working with U.S. Government customers on classified or sensitive programs
