• Lead design and implementation of perception and planning algorithms into vehicle system software to ensure safe navigation and effective operation of autonomous vehicles
• Utilize advanced techniques in computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance perception and planning capabilities of Anduril vehicles
• Develop software that runs on- and off- platform, using a variety of technologies
• Contribute to the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of robotic software, including full lifecycle testing
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to integrate perception and planning technologies into vehicle architectures
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of perception and planning algorithms through simulation and real-world experiments
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems engineers, to ensure effective system integration and testing

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
• Experienced and proficient in C++ and/or Python software development
• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras
• Demonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, machine learning
• Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolution
• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies for perception and planning modules
• Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with autonomous systems in the air, maritime or space domains
• Experience with simulation tools and frameworks, such as Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine, for algorithm validation and testing
• Knowledge of safety standards and certification processes for autonomous systems
• Familiarity with System Engineering concepts
• Desire to learn and grow in to other roles that require experience as a Senior Robotics Engineer, such as Principal Robotics Engineer and/or Engineering Manager
• Desire to grow in to a Tech-Lead-Manager role, with responsibility for line management of engineers, in addition to delivery
