Signal Processing Engineer, Space

About this role

Anduril Industries seeks a Signal Processing Engineer to develop discrimination algorithms for space and missile defense systems that distinguish threats from decoys and debris using EO/IR sensor data. You'll design signal processing pipelines, build physics-based models, and transition algorithms from prototype to production for real-time operational deployment.

What you'll do

• Develop discrimination algorithms for EO/IR sensors to classify threats versus decoys, debris, and clutter in real-time
• Design and implement signal processing pipelines including detection, feature extraction, and image processing
• Build physics-based models and conduct modeling/simulation including Monte Carlo analysis and hardware-in-the-loop testing
• Analyze and optimize algorithms for EO/IR sensor phenomenology and environmental effects
• Develop analysis tools to characterize algorithm performance under countermeasures and degraded conditions
• Collaborate with software engineers to productionize algorithms and engage with customers on mission needs

What they're looking for

• Signal processing algorithm design and implementation
• EO/IR sensor phenomenology and detection theory
• Classification and discrimination algorithms
• Image processing and feature extraction
• Physics-based modeling and Monte Carlo simulation
• Algorithm coding and production transition
• Hardware-in-the-loop testing
• Collaborative cross-functional engineering
