Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. Anduril Imaging System Engineers are responsible for system architecture definition, trade analyses, and modeling/validating system performance for land, sea, air, and space EO/IR applications. The team is seeking an EO/IR System Engineer to lead the system development of an infrared wide area imaging product line. In this role, you will lead trade studies to define EO/IR system architectures based on detailed performance modeling of the imaging chain, lead the multidisciplinary detailed design, analysis, and integration and test of EO/IR prototypes and products.
