Job Description

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h3>ABOUT THE TEAM</h3> <p>Anduril Engineers in the Connected Warfare (CW) Division work across disciplines to build, deploy, integrate, extend, and scale Anduril's software and hardware systems to deliver mission-critical capabilities to our customers at the tactical edge. As the engineers closest to customers/end-users, ECC Tactical Network Engineers are designed to solve technical challenges of operational scenarios while owning the end-to-end delivery of new capabilities from zero to one.</p> <p>As a <strong>Tactical Network Engineer</strong> on the <strong>Edge Compute and Comms (ECC) Engineering</strong> team, you will combine industry-leading commercial communications technologies with legacy military radio systems to rapidly prototype and create new products and solutions to address a wide variety of customer problems involving software, hardware, networking, autonomy/robotics, systems integration, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril and third-party products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes.</p> <p>Above all, ECC Engineers are driven by a "Whatever It Takes" mindset—executing in an <em>expedient</em>, <em>scalable</em>, and <em>methodical</em> way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes correctly, on-time, and with high quality. You will work on new technology introduction and enhancing products like the Menace Family of Systems to bring integrated C4 (Compute, Comms, Command, and Control) capabilities to the tactical edge.</p> <p>Our C4 systems must function in highly dynamic and adversarial DDIL (Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, Limited) environments where nodes have varying states of link quality availability, have frequently changing network topologies and are under constant threat of interference ranging from electronic warfare to physical destruction. In addition, our assets are deployed to austere combat zones which do not have the well-developed network infrastructure which most network solutions rely on. Our challenge is to provide networking software and hardware systems that provide reliability, resilience, speed and security in these challenging environments.</p> <h4><strong>WHAT YOU’LL DO</strong></h4> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Integrate emerging networking capabilities, bringing new hardware and software products into the Menace family of systems</li> <li>Contribute to networking requirements decomposition across cross-functional teams, helping define success in the face of ambiguity</li> <li>Design network topologies and configurations decomposed from complex design reference missions (DRMs) involving large scale unmanned systems and forward-deployed C2 systems</li> <li>Design, implement, deploy, and troubleshoot system networking solutions focused on Layer-1 (Physical), Layer-2 (Data), Layer-3 (Network), and Layer-4 (Transport) of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, and that meet and exceed industry-standard security goals</li> <li>Own systems end to end with the ability to identify and solve networking problems between the seams, scrutinize system performance, make tradeof ...
