ABOUT THE TEAM

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops innovative and differentiated radar solutions to tackle national security challenges for America and its allies. We're seeking a Systems Security Engineer who will drive security engineering principles into the design and integration of our next-generation radar systems. The ideal candidate has a background in systems security engineering with deep expertise in embedded systems security, particularly for heterogeneous computing environments. You will perform in-depth security architecture assessments, identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, and work cross-functionally to bake security into our radar products from inception through deployment.
