Anduril Industries · Costa Mesa, California, United States · Apr 14, 2026

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. Anduril’s Electrical Engineering Team is seeking a Wireless Systems Principal Engineer with a strong background in modulation/demodulation, forward error correction, multiple access, duplexing schemes used in wireless communications. In this role, you design, adapt, and optimize wireless communication waveforms for use by autonomous vehicles to communicate with each other and with human operators. Familiarity with tradeoffs concerning performance, resiliency and range is necessary. You will also work with embedded SW and FPGA engineers to optimize capability while maintaining the big picture mission and system view with an eye to both verification and validation of the end system. Additionally, you will guide the SW and FW engineers to develop SW/FW/HW to integrate wireless systems with autonomous vehicles and their controllers. The preferred person for this role has a strong background in the effects of signal processing, communication systems architectures upon the users that...
