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. The Air Dominance and Strike Low Observable Team are advancing into the next generation of LO Technology to enhance the survivability and effectiveness of unmanned air systems. Our Low Observables engineering team is responsible for designing, analyzing, testing, and sustaining stealth features that reduce radar (RCS) and infrared (IR) signatures , ensuring our systems remain undetectable in contested environments.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Assist in the design and development of antennas that go on low observable unmanned air
vehicles

• Design, simulate, and optimize antennas that meet RF performance while maintaining RADAR
cross section requirements

• Develop and decompose requirements by performing link-budget analysis to support RF system
architecture trades such as required antenna gain, pattern coverage, co-site interference, etc.

• Lead IR&D development of antenna designs by rapid design and prototyping of antennas to
support program emerging needs

• Work with subcontractors and/or internal development teams to integrate antenna systems
onto un-manned platforms

• Develop analysis tools, workflows, and validation processes for antenna predictions

• Plan and execute antenna performance and RCS testing of Low Observable antennas
components and installed antenna testing REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
