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

  • Perform systems engineering and algorithm development tasks supporting space: and missile defense tracking missions

  • Design and implement advanced object tracking and state estimation: algorithms, including track initiation, maintenance, correlation, and termination

  • Develop and evaluate multi-target tracking and multi-sensor fusion approaches: for EO/IR, RF, or hybrid sensor architectures

  • Implement advanced data association techniques including JPDA (Joint: Probabilistic Data Association), MHT (Multiple Hypothesis Tracking), nearest neighbor, and track-to-track fusion methods

  • Apply and refine data association techniques, such as: nearest neighbor and probabilistic association; Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA); Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT); and track-to-track fusion methods

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

What they're looking for

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related technical field
  • Experience in one or more of the following domains: missile defense or space systems; EO/IR or RF sensors; kill vehicles, interceptors, or countermeasures
  • Experience handling challenging tracking scenarios including track: fragmentation, ghost tracks, sensor outages, and high-clutter environments
  • Familiarity with real-time system constraints, embedded systems, or edge compute optimization
  • Demonstrated experience working within the systems engineering design cycle,: including requirements decomposition and traceability, algorithm design and trade studies, verification and validation (V&V;), and documentation and design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR)
  • Experience with MBSE tools (Cameo, Rhapsody, DOORS)
