About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience with aerospace or aeronautical systems, including rotorcraft or vertical takeoff and landing systems, and/or subsea vehicles.
  • Experience in flight dynamics, platform physics, and control.
  • Proficiency with C and C++.
  • Advanced proficiency with scientific computing systems, including MathWorks products such as MATLAB and Simulink, and scientific Python such as NumPy and SciPy.
  • Experience with flight test data processing and simulation correlation.
  • Experience developing subsystem- and system-level models for air vehicles, ground vehicles, ground-based sensors, and other complex systems.
  • Experience developing models to support Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithm development.
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain sufficiently high-fidelity virtual representations of the vehicles Anduril works on.
  • Develop and coordinate the deployment and maintenance of vehicle models and simulation instantiations for ongoing programs.
  • Develop simulation solutions for Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithm development.
  • Develop Software-in-the-Loop (SITL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL), and Pilot-in-the-Loop (PITL) solutions.
  • Develop customer product training solutions.
  • Perform Monte Carlo simulation analysis.
  • Develop simulation and test data analysis tools and processes.
  • Work with multidisciplinary subject-matter experts to understand and model relevant subsystem, system, and system-of-systems dynamics.
  • Work with internal and external customers to understand simulation requirements and develop efficient modeling and simulation solutions.
  • Own the end-to-end configuration of SITL, HITL, and PITL for test vehicles to support safe and efficient flight tests.

Desired Qualifications

  • Advanced proficiency with C and C++.
  • Flight test support experience.
  • Experience designing, developing, and deploying SITL and HITL simulation infrastructure for complex systems.
  • Experience developing emulated or simulation interfaces for onboard avionics.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
