Anduril Industries
Red Team Engineer, Discovery
About this role
Anduril Industries seeks a Red Team Engineer to identify design flaws, failure modes, and hidden assumptions in defense systems before deployment. You'll independently conduct rigorous adversarial analysis across aerospace, autonomy, and cyber domains, working cross-functionally with systems, software, and hardware teams to pressure-test designs and trade studies.
What you'll do
- Execute independent red-team analyses to hunt failure modes and surface hidden assumptions across programs
- Develop models, simulations, and analysis tooling to verify or challenge technical claims
- Reconstruct and independently verify work from Systems, GNC, Software, Hardware, and Test teams
- Collaborate cross-functionally to translate findings into actionable design improvements
- Apply hands-on systems-building experience to catch problems in analysis rather than field testing
- Present complex technical results with strong data visualization to engineers and stakeholders
What they're looking for
- Adversarial analysis and red-teaming
- Physics-math scripting (MATLAB, Simulink, Python with numpy/scipy)
- Systems design and analysis
- Failure mode and effects analysis
- Independent verification and validation (IV&V)
- Multi-domain reasoning (space, aerospace, autonomy, sensors)
- Technical communication and data visualization
- Dynamics, controls, and GNC principles

Likely interview questions
- Walk us through a time when you found a critical flaw in someone else's analysis or design that others had missed—what was your approach?
- Describe your experience designing and building a real system. How did that hands-on knowledge later inform your analytical work?
