Job Description

Anduril Industries, a cutting-edge defense technology company, is seeking a Senior GNC Systems Engineer specializing in Navigation, Positioning, and Timing (PNT) to join their team in Costa Mesa, California. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced technology and defense systems, contributing to the transformation of U.S. and allied military capabilities.

The position requires expertise in developing and integrating sophisticated PNT architectures for automated systems across air, ground, maritime, and space applications. You'll be working with state-of-the-art technologies including GNSS, INS, vision-based navigation, and other advanced PNT solutions. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, requiring both system architecture design and practical implementation skills.

As a Senior GNC Systems Engineer, you'll be responsible for ensuring robust PNT access in adverse environments, conducting system evaluations, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. The position requires strong programming skills in C++ and Python, experience with Kalman filtering and pose estimation, and the ability to work on complex automated systems.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $170,000 to $213,000 USD, complemented by comprehensive benefits including platinum healthcare coverage, generous PTO, mental health resources, and a 401(k) plan. Anduril offers a dynamic work environment where you'll be at the forefront of developing technologies that directly impact national security and defense capabilities.

The ideal candidate will have an MS/PhD in a relevant engineering field and at least 5 years of experience in PNT systems integration. This role requires eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance, reflecting the important nature of the work. Join Anduril to be part of a team that's bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, and sensor fusion technology to military applications in months, not years.
