Principal Radar Engineer, Space

10+ years of hands-on experience in radar systems engineering, including hardware, algorithms, or software development

Proven track record in a technical leadership role developing high-performance defense radar systems

Strong expertise in radar architecture, waveform design, radar modes, and system-level modeling

Understanding of radar antenna development, technology, and integration

Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for radar simulation and analysis

Prior experience supporting DoD or IC programs

Anduril is hiring a Principal Radar Engineer to architect and deliver next-generation space-based radar systems that will redefine orbital ISR and tactical sensing.

We're building software-defined RF payloads designed to break free from traditional satellite development timelines, and we need engineers who can operate at the intersection of advanced electromagnetics, real-time signal processing, and autonomous space operations.

Depending on your level and fit, you'll lead a high-performing radar engineering team, direct cross-functional groups spanning payload development and mission software, or own a broader technical portfolio integrating space-based sensors with Anduril's C2 infrastructure.

These roles combine hands-on technical leadership with people management and customer engagement, driving complex space programs from concept through launch to on-orbit operations.

More senior candidates will additionally own multi-team strategy, executive-level customer relationships, and portfolio-scale outcomes.

Architect and implement RF sensing technologies for space-based radar payloads and multi-domain platforms

Anduril's Space team is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. Our mission is twofold: 1) develop autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms, and 2) deliver critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale. We transform products and capabilities across space command and control (C2), mission management, and space operations from early concepts into fully operational systems by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our integrated approach, we design and deploy space software systems using advanced algorithms, distributed architectures, and resilient infrastructure—delivering reliable, mission-critical capabilities that support operators across orbital and ground-based assets. Space Systems hires software engineers and systems engineers who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from satellite operations software to space domain awareness platforms. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous space systems and ground software products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environments, supporting the DOD and IC in defending our national interests in space.
