Job Description

The Robotics team at Anduril develops aerial and ground-based robotic systems. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Anvil, and our Sentry Tower from paper sketches to operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Autonomy, and Manufacturing 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 major feature development and rollout of large features for our products - recent examples include building a Software-in-the-Loop simulator for our Anvil product and characterizing and improving Ghost helicopter battery consumption with route planning
• Work closely with our hardware and manufacturing teams during product development, providing quick feedback that contributes to the final hardware design

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• BS in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Proven understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and code optimization
• Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems
• Experience working with and testing electrical and mechanical systems
• Strong C++ or Rust experience in a Linux development environment
• An active security clearance (Secret, Top Secret, TS with SCI, or equivalent)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• MS or PhD
• Experience in one or more of the following: motion planning, perception, localization, mapping, controls, and related system performance metrics.
• Python, Rust, and/or Go experience
• Experience programming for embedded and physical devices
• Multi-agent coordination of UAVs
• Complex frame transformation problems, such as target localization or multi degree of freedom robotic arms

Anduril is an equal-opportunity employer, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you are someone passionate to work on problems that matter, we’d love to hear from you!
