About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 6 years of experience developing high-assurance, safety-critical Guidance, Navigation, and Control software, including cascading controls, adaptive controls, and transfer functions.
  • Systems programming skills, including algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and optimization.
  • Extensive experience with MATLAB and Simulink.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Lead architecture selection, design, and implementation for Guidance, Navigation, and Control subsystems and control schemes for autonomous robotic platforms.
  • Integrate technology from third-party vendors, local research and development partners, and internal product teams.
  • Contribute to the design and development of other embedded subsystems.
  • Develop real-time embedded software using a real-time operating system.
  • Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with software- and hardware-in-the-loop.
  • Develop modeling and simulation capabilities that capture appropriate data during testing so that models can be updated and validated.
  • Analyze test data captured from control systems, subsystems, and other test instrumentation to verify vehicle performance, evaluate Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithm and controller behavior, or debug incidents.
  • Drive lightweight root cause analyses for vehicle anomalies or incidents tied to Guidance, Navigation, and Control responsibilities.
  • Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment.
  • Work as a member of a multidisciplinary team, including mentoring software and hardware engineers from differing backgrounds.

Desired Qualifications

  • Familiarity with communications buses and protocols such as CAN, CAN FD, ARINC 825, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, UART, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, and Ethernet.
  • Experience writing C and/or C++.
  • Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems.
  • Experience working with and testing electrical and mechanical systems.
  • Experience with DO-178 or similar certifications.
  • Familiarity with open-source control software such as PX4, ArduPilot, or ROS.
  • Experience with a real-time operating system.

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.
