Communications engineering

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.

S. military and allied partners. We’re developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested war‑fighting domain.

As a RF Communications Engineer for our Space team, you will contribute to the design of all satellite communications subsystem to include but not limited to bus TT&C, mission data links and inter‑satellite links. You will be responsible for authoring space to ground ICD’s and become familiar with Anduril’s ground software enterprise and orbital flight software systems. The Spacecraft Comms team will work closely with related teams, such as the spacecraft design, ground, and flight software, etc., to help improve both the ground and satellite‑based capabilities but above all else will be responsible for the successful design, test and operations of the various communications links onboard Anduril’s fleet of spacecraft

The programs require building and fielding a resilient, software‑defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads. We work with mission partners and customers to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally‑relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC.

Contribute to the spacecraft communications subsystems for various spacecraft programs in all orbital regimes

Develop modern, software‑defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft communications leveraging proliferated constellations of ground and space‑based assets

Own space‑to‑ground and space‑to‑space ICDs and designs for communication subsystems

Coordinate with end‑users, other operators and customers to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints

Support challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows and on‑orbit operations of the spacecraft systems

Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Computer Science, or other engineering degree
