Leads technical strategy and oversight for Anduril's space systems programs, managing spacecraft and ground segment development from proposals through on-orbit delivery. Works with multi-disciplinary teams on hardware, software, and Lattice for Space Missions technology.
Defines system architectures for spaceborne EO/IR sensors, performs radiometric and atmospheric performance modeling, and runs laboratory, ground, and flight tests to validate models. Uses MATLAB, Python, and EO/IR modeling packages such as MODTRAN, SPIRITS, and AFSIM on Anduril's defense technology team.
Defines architectures for spaceborne EO/IR imaging systems, performs radiometric and atmospheric performance modeling, and supports lab, ground, and flight testing of prototype sensors. Collaborates with hardware, software, and mission teams to deliver systems using tools such as MATLAB, Python, and EO/IR modeling software like MODTRAN, SPIRITS, and AFSIM.
Owns the end-to-end technology release and foreign disclosure pipeline for Anduril defense products: scoping product reviews, assembling technical artifacts, and driving classified assessments to signed decisions. Works under ITAR/EAR, DoDM S-5230.28, LO/CLO Tri-Service Committee, and Anti-Tamper frameworks to enable FMS and DCS exports.
Leads end-to-end technical engagements with external partners, owns integration design across engineering teams, and authors reference architectures and documentation for Anduril's Warfighter Systems. Works with API/service-based systems (REST/gRPC), security clearances, and defense technology.
Leads development of 2D and 3D tracking algorithms for space situational awareness, architecting multi-target tracking and state estimation systems using MATLAB, Python, and C++, and mentoring engineers to deploy algorithms into operational defense systems.
Leads development of 2D and 3D tracking and state-estimation algorithms for space situational awareness, converting sensor detections into actionable tracks using MATLAB, Python, and C++; mentors engineers and guides algorithms from prototype to production C++ for defense space missions.
Leads integration of weapons systems onto aircraft platforms, creating integration plans, interface control documents, and supporting lab, ground, and flight tests. Works with MIL-STD-1553/1760, weapon datalinks, and optionally C/C++/Rust, MATLAB, and Python.
Lead end-to-end weapons and kinetic stores integration onto Anduril's Thunder autonomous attack rotorcraft in Costa Mesa, CA. Architect Store Management System interfaces (MIL-STD-1760/UAI), coordinate with autonomy teams and suppliers, and support flight test and safety reviews.
Infrastructure/DevOps engineer owning CI/CD and integration test infrastructure for command & control software, maintaining observability stack (Grafana/Prometheus), and migrating to next-gen tooling (Terraform, RKE2, ArgoCD) using Kubernetes, CircleCI, AWS, and Python.
Software Engineer on Anduril's Air Defense team in Irvine, CA, building robotics software for autonomous unmanned aerial threat defense. Day-to-day work includes writing C++/Rust libraries and services on Linux for perception, motion planning, sensor integration, and collaborative robot systems.
The Sr. Mission Software Engineer debugs and fixes field-reported bugs on Anduril's autonomous underwater and surface vehicles, working across subsystems in Rust, C++, Python, and Go. The role involves reproducing issues from recorded data, confirming fixes in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop, and rolling out fixes through CI, with 25%+ travel.
Leads a software engineering team building flight, ground, and station software for spacecraft, working across embedded C, host applications, FPGA interfaces, computer vision, and command-and-control integration in Chantilly, VA.
Leads Anduril's Quality Management System (QMS): implements QMS software across manufacturing sites, runs internal and external audits, drives continuous improvement, and partners with engineering and manufacturing teams using QMS standards (ISO 9001, AS9100) and ERP/PLM/BI tools.
Maintains CI/CD and integration test infrastructure and observability (Grafana, Prometheus) for defense command-and-control software, while leading migration to Terraform, RKE2, and ArgoCD.
Designs and implements safety-critical Vehicle Management Systems and real-time embedded software for autonomous maritime vehicles, including RTOS development, device drivers, and sensor/actuator interfaces using C.
Designs and builds ProtoKV, a distributed key-value infrastructure for Anduril's Lattice OS defense platform, focusing on state sharing, replication, and consistency at the tactical edge. Works with Python, Go, C++, or Rust to optimize storage engines for low-bandwidth, intermittent-connectivity environments.
Serves as the primary technical design interface between Anduril's Connected Warfare systems and U.S. Army communities at Aberdeen Proving Ground, translating mission needs into model-based system architectures using frameworks like SysML, UAF, and DoDAF. Supports lab and field integration of defense hardware and software; requires an active Secret clearance with ability to obtain TS/SCI.
