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 TEAM
The Tactical Recon & Strike team at Anduril develops aerial small drones (Group 1-3) and all equipment to test, deploy and operate. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt and Altius from concepts to operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers, hardware engineers, roboticists, and front-end mobile developers who are excited about creating a powerful robotics platform that can be tasked and viewed in real-time through a variety of interfaces.
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Robotics Software Engineer on our TRS team, you'll be at the forefront of cutting-edge autonomous systems development. We are looking for a Software Engineer to help build and enhance Anvil, our autonomous kinetic interceptor for precise and low-collateral defeat of group 1 and 2 aerial threats. As an engineer on the Anvil team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Anduril’s cutting edge UAS capabilities.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Write robotics software to enhance and add new capabilities to the Anvil platform.
- Own feature development and rollout for our products, from design inception to customer deployments.
