Signal Processing Engineer, Space

About this role

Anduril Industries seeks a Signal Processing Engineer to develop discrimination algorithms for space and missile defense systems. You'll create EO/IR sensor processing pipelines that classify threats from decoys and debris in real-time, working on AI-powered space domain awareness capabilities.

What you'll do

• Develop discrimination algorithms for EO/IR sensors to classify threats versus decoys, debris, and clutter
• Design and implement signal processing pipelines including detection, feature extraction, and image processing
• Build physics-based models and conduct Monte Carlo analysis, sensor playback, and hardware-in-the-loop testing
• Analyze and optimize algorithms for EO/IR sensor phenomenology, noise, SNR, and environmental effects
• Transition discrimination algorithms from prototypes to production code with software engineering teams
• Engage with customers to understand mission needs and demonstrate system performance

What they're looking for

• Signal processing algorithm design and implementation
• EO/IR sensor phenomenology and detection theory
• Classification and decision logic development
• Modeling, simulation, and Monte Carlo analysis
• Algorithm optimization and production deployment
• Image processing and feature extraction
• Collaborative engineering across teams
• Physics-based modeling
