Senior Systems Security Engineer

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops innovative and differentiated radar solutions to tackle national security challenges for America and its allies. We're seeking a Systems Security Engineer who will drive security engineering principles into the design and integration of our next-generation radar systems. The ideal candidate has a background in systems security engineering with deep expertise in embedded systems security, particularly for heterogeneous computing environments. You will perform in-depth security architecture assessments, identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, and work cross-functionally to bake security into our radar products from inception through deployment.
 

Anduril is seeking a skilled and experienced Systems Security Engineer to play a critical role in securing our next-generation radar systems. This role is essential for building robust, high-performance, and secure software platforms targeting heterogeneous processors embedded in our radar products, including Nvidia Jetson SoCs, Intel Agilex FPGAs, and ARM CPU architectures. You will own security end-to-end for assigned radar products and ensure our systems meet the highest standards for security, resilience, and compliance with government requirements.
 

Note: This is not an ISSO or ISSM role.
 

• Own security end-to-end for assigned radar products—derive and decompose security requirements from customer needs and threat intelligence, design security architectures, and manage security through the full product lifecycle
• Architect and implement security features for embedded radar systems operating on heterogeneous computing environments, including Nvidia Jetson SoCs (e.g., Orin AGX), and ARM CPU architectures
• Design and implement security-focused software frameworks ensuring high standards for maintainability, testability, reliability, and security across CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs

• 8+ years of experience in Systems Security Engineering, Cybersecurity, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related field
• Previous work on security engineering and architecture for defense/national security systems and/or complex embedded commercial systems
• Deep expertise in embedded systems security, including familiarity with security-relevant features on embedded hardware/FPGAs (e.g., secure boot, trusted execution environments, key management, hardware security modules)
• Architectural security expertise with proven experience securing complex software systems for embedded or real-time applications
• Experience with heterogeneous computing security: Hands-on experience securing systems combining CPUs, GPUs (specifically Nvidia Jetson), and FPGAs
• Strong understanding of secure API design and implementation for both internal and external consumers
• Proficiency in secure coding practices and vulnerability mitigation for embedded software, including board support packages (BSP), real-time operating systems (RTOS), and device drivers
• Ability to effectively brief and interact regularly with highly technical government customers
• Strong understanding of the "why" behind product, system, and security design decisions
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with ability to convey security architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Up to 15% travel 

• Excels at the above listed Requirements
• Possesses and able to maintain a U.S. TS Security clearance with SCI and/or SAP eligibility
• Strong programming and security analysis skills in C++, Python, Rust, and/or Go
• Experience securing heterogeneous programming environments, including oneAPI, SYCL, and CUDA for GPUs and FPGAs
• FPGA security experience: Familiarity with securing FPGA implementations, including Hardware Description Languages (HDL) like Verilog, high-level synthesis tools, and soft processors
• Experience assessing security of firmware, applications, network, IoT, or embedded systems through penetration testing, red teaming, or vulnerability assessments
• Fluency in modern USG cyber methodologies, including Cyber Survivability guidance and related policy (JSIG, ICD 503, CSEIG, SSECG, NIST SP 800-160, Cyber T&E Guidebook, CMMC, STIGs, etc.)
• Experience developing cyber documentation for USG customers
• Proven track record excelling across the broader Systems Security Engineering domain, encompassing embedded Systems Engineering, Cybersecurity, Cyber Resiliency, and Software Security
• Experience creating and integrating with system design documentation in MBSE tools
• Experience integrating with Software Assurance, Supply Chain Risk Management, Configuration Management, and System Test processes
• Experience executing the Anti-Tamper process and authoring associated documentation
• Domain knowledge in radar systems, signal processing security, or RF systems
• Experience with security testing on DoD radar or sensor systems
• Experience working with unmanned systems or long-range sensor platforms

We request transcripts as part of the early application process to understand your academic background and how your coursework supports the skills deemed critical for the role. Transcripts help us assess your technical and analytical abilities, complementing our interview process in which we also evaluate practical experience and cultural fit. If you choose not to share your transcripts, you will need to provide detailed information regarding your academic performance in relevant courses, including projects and coursework specifics, to ensure we evaluate your academic accomplishments properly. If you do provide academic transcripts, feel free to redact non-technical information (e.g., student ID, dates, non-technical coursework, etc.). Unofficial transcripts obtained online acceptable for this assessment.
