Requirements
  • Master's or PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics or a related field
  • Extensive experience with MATLAB and Simulink
  • Proven experience in developing Navigation and Localization algorithms for autonomous vehicles, robotics, drones, maritime vehicles or similar application
  • Experience with sensor calibration, sensor fusion, state estimation, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques
  • Experience with navigation, localization, and positioning systems design and development
  • Deep expertise in Kalman filtering, Extended Kalman filtering, and other estimation techniques.
  • Knowledge of sensor fusion and data integration techniques
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Experience applying covariance analysis techniques to optimize navigation system performance, error modeling, and system uncertainty assessments, and requirements methods
  • U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.
Responsibilities
  • Design and develop algorithms for real-time navigation, including obstacle avoidance systems in a nominal, degraded and contested/adversarial environment (jamming, spoofing etc)
  • Implement sensor fusion techniques to integrate data from multiple sensors such as GNSS, IMU, LIDAR, radar, sonar and cameras to enhance the accuracy and robustness of vehicle navigation where applicable
  • Develop simulation and testing environment to evaluate the performance of Navigation and Localization solutions under different environmental conditions and scenarios
  • Optimize and design fault tolerant algorithms for computational efficiency and robustness to ensure reliable operation in challenging and contested environments
  • Drive evaluation and integration of advanced alternative navigation aiding sources
  • Design, develop, integrate and test inertial navigation systems (INS), GNSS products, visual navigation, and other related technologies for autonomous UAS.
  • Develop algorithms for navigation, localization, and positioning systems, including Kalman filters (Extended-KF, Unscented-KF, Ensemble-KF, Iterated-EKF, Gaussian Sum Filter) and other estimation methods using various programming languages (C++ and Python preferred)
  • Architect and improve calibration procedures for sensor suites used in navigation systems
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate navigation solutions into overall vehicle systems
  • Conduct rigorous simulation and testing for validation of navigation algorithms and systems performance
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest developments and research in navigation technologies

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Anduril's recent $1.4 billion funding round at a $14 billion valuation underscores strong investor confidence and provides substantial capital for R&D and expansion.
  • The company's expansion plans, including new manufacturing facilities in Mississippi and Rhode Island, signal significant job creation and growth opportunities.
  • Selection by the U.S. Air Force for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program highlights Anduril's strategic importance and potential for long-term government contracts.

What critics are saying

  • The defense sector's reliance on government contracts can lead to revenue volatility due to changing political and budgetary priorities.
  • Rapid expansion and scaling, such as the planned new facilities, may strain operational capabilities and lead to potential execution risks.

What makes Anduril unique

  • Anduril's Lattice platform uniquely integrates air, land, and sea autonomous systems, providing a seamless and comprehensive ISR solution unlike any other in the defense market.
  • The company's focus on advanced autonomous systems and AI-driven solutions sets it apart from traditional defense contractors who rely on conventional technologies.
  • Strategic partnerships, such as with Rheinmetall for anti-drone systems, enhance Anduril's capabilities and market reach, distinguishing it from competitors.
