Anduril Industries Senior Red Team Engineer at Anduril Industries responsible for adversarial analysis of engineering systems to identify failure modes and design weaknesses. Collaborate cross-functionally to pressure-test systems across space, missiles, air, autonomy, sensors domains.

Responsibilities

Independently execute red-team designs, models, and analyses across the program — hunt failure modes, surface hidden assumptions, and pressure-test trade studies before decisions are locked in
Contribute to the models and simulations needed to prove or break a claim, rather than taking it on faith — often developing the analysis tooling yourself
Reconstruct and independently verify others' work; find the error everyone else missed
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Systems, GNC, Software, Hardware, Mission Ops, and Test teams, translating findings into clear, actionable guidance that measurably improves the design
Bring hands-on systems-building experience to bear so problems are caught in analysis, not in flight
Communicate complex results — including strong visual presentation of data — to engineers, leadership, and stakeholders

Qualification

Required

Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
Hands-on track record of both designing/building and analyzing real engineering systems — not analysis-only
Demonstrated ability to find problems others miss: failure analysis, adversarial review, independent verification, or equivalent
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)
Outstanding communication skills, including visual presentation of complex data

Preferred

8+ years in a relevant science/engineering field
Hands-on design and analysis experience across multiple of: space systems, missiles / missile defense, air vehicles, GNC, sensors and sensor fusion, radar, EW. You are not expected to have all of these — the more breadth, the better
Formal red-team, T&E, IV&V, mission-assurance, or failure-analysis experience
Comfort moving fluidly between domains and physics regimes within a single problem
Exceptional proficiency with physics-math scripting of your choice
Familiarity with domain analysis tools as relevant (e.g., STK/Astrogator, AFSIM)
Experience with genetic algorithms, machine learning, AI, and reinforcement learning
