Senior Robotics Software Engineer - Thunder

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE JOB

The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on building the next generation of autonomous capabilities by leveraging existing Anduril platforms like Ghost or Altius, bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril's Lattice ecosystem, and developing breakthrough systems that will shape the future of the battlefield. We build Software services and Autonomy algorithms that solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers.

As a Mission Software Engineeron theManeuver Dominance team, you will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes. Above all, Engineers within Maneuver Dominance are driven by a “Whatever It Takes” mindset—executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes correctly, on-time, and with high quality.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the feature development and software solutions that are deployed to customers, and lead complex, cross-cutting technical efforts from concept to deployment.
• Write code to improve products and scale the mission capability to more customers.
• Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality.
• Create and analyze metrics that are leveraged for debugging and monitoring.
• Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate next-steps.
• Work closely with Anduril and 3rd party vehicle hardware teams, as well as operational subject matter experts (pilots, UAV operators, etc.) to align on requirements during product development and iterate towards a final design.
• Write and maintain core libraries and services that perform critical functions for collaborative teams of robots - for example, motion deconfliction and contingency management of fast mover air vehicles.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers, and help raise the engineering bar across the team through code review and design leadership.
• Travel up to 20% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world
