The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together. We leverage existing Anduril drone platforms like Ghost or Altius, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril’s Lattice ecosystem.

We develop Perception and Autonomy algorithms to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful robotics stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Write and maintain core libraries (frame transformations, targeting and guidance, etc.) that all robotics platforms at Anduril will use
• Own feature development and rollout for our products - recent examples include building a Software-in-the-Loop simulator for our Anvil product, characterizing and improving Ghost helicopter battery consumption with route planning, designing an autofocus control system for IR cameras.
• Design, evaluate, and implement sensor integrations that support operation by both human and autonomous planning agents.
• Work closely with our hardware and manufacturing teams during product development, providing quick feedback that contributes to the final hardware design.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Must have 5+ years of professional C++ or Rust programming experience in a Linux development environment
• Must be eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. TS/SCI security clearance.
• Must be willing to travel 25% for test and demonstration events.
• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• Experience in one or more of the following: sensor integration, tracking and estimation, motion planning, perception, localization, mapping, guidance, navigation and controls, and related system performance metrics.
• Proven understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and code optimization
• Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems
• Experience with Linux tools for performance analysis and debugging problems (gdb, ASAN, bpftrace, perf, etc)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• MS in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• Experience programming for embedded and physical devices
• Understanding of systems software (kernel, device drivers, system calls) and optimizing for limited resources
• Experience with sensor characterization and analysis
• Complex frame transformation problems, such as target localization or multi degree of freedom robotic arms

WHAT WE VALUE 

• Customer Facing - Our software engineers work closely to Anduril customers, end-users, and the technical challenges of operational scenarios.
• Mission First - Above all, our software engineers execute their mission in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way. They keep the mission top-of-mind and make pragmatic and thoughtful engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes.
• Small Project Wrangling = Large Project Impact - Our software engineers are the voice of our business line(s). They are the forcing function that gets us to think about how a project will transition to production and tie in to the centralized functions across the business.
• Embrace Challenge (and follow through) - We take responsibility for achieving the mission; Developing technical self-sufficiency across a wide range of environments. Ruthlessly prioritizing, while honing our ability to understand large systems and incorporate new components in varying levels of complexity.

BENEFITS
