Staff Robotics Software Engineer, Air Vehicle Autonomy

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Air Dominance & Strike team at Anduril develops aerial and multi-domain robotic systems. The team is responsible for taking products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile) from concept to product. The team also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Anduril’s premier software platform that enables masses of Fury, Barracuda, and other first and third party robots to collaborate across various missions. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Motion Planning, Hardware, and Test Engineering to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful autonomy software stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.WHAT YOU'LL DO

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.
Own major feature development and rollout of large, complex features for our products - recent examples include developing terminal-phase autonomy for various air vehicles and developing a test plan on live surrogates.
Work closely with Anduril and 3rd party vehicle hardware teams, as well as operational subject matter experts (fighter pilots, UAV operators, etc.) to align on requirements during product development and iterate towards a final design.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
BS in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
10+ years experience in one or more of the following: motion planning, perception, localization, mapping, controls, and related system performance metrics.
Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams, set technical direction, and manage full project lifecycles from concept to deployment.
Deep understanding of integrating various sensor systems and utilizing various techniques for perception and decision-making.
Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems
Experience working with and testing electrical and mechanical systems

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

MS or PhD
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
