Requirements
analyzing real engineering systems — not analysis-only
Proven track record of independently owning and executing deliverables with little to no management
Proficiency with physics-math scripting (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, Python + numpy/scipy)
Strong engineering background in a relevant field (Aerospace, Dynamics & Controls, GNC, Systems, or similar)
10+ years in a relevant science/engineering field
Hands-on design and analysis experience across
Responsibilities
As a Staff Red Team Engineer, you are the adversary to our own systems.
This is not a slide-reviewing role: you bring hands-on experience designing, building, and analyzing real engineering systems, and you turn that builder's intuition into rigorous, quantitative adversarial analysis that changes decisions.
You will embed with and pressure-test the work of Systems Engineering, GNC, Software, Hardware, Mission Operations, and Test Engineering — independently reconstructing their analyses, breaking their models, and stress-testing their trade studies.
Because our systems span domains — space, missiles, air, autonomy, sensors — you are expected to reason across all of them and follow a problem wherever it leads.
The breadth and credibility of your analysis will be a critical element of mission success.
This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Discovery Business Line, building and fielding resilient, software-defined systems across numerous mission threads on operationally relevant timelines
