Job Description
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.
WHY WE’RE HERE
The Mission Software Engineering team builds, deploys, integrates, extends, and scales Anduril's software to deliver mission-critical capabilities to our customers. As the software engineers closest to Anduril customers and end-users, Mission Software Engineers solve technical challenges of operational scenarios while owning the end-to-end delivery of winning capabilities such as, Counter Intrusion, Joint All Domain Command & Control, and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
As a Staff Mission Software Engineer, 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, Mission Software Engineers 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 software solutions that are deployed to customers
Lead high-impact projects through requirements analysis, design, and execution.
Provide technical leadership across a large group of software engineers
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
Partner with end-users to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints
Travel up to 30% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world
Core Requirements
Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
At least 8+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Java, Python, Rust, Go, JavaScript, etc. (We encourage all levels to apply)
Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis
Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance
Desired Requirements
Strong background with focus in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Motion Planning to inform modeling & simulation (M&S) and physical systems
Developing and testing multi-agent autonomous systems and deploying in real-world environments.
Feature and algorithm development with an understanding of behavior trees.
Developing software/hardware for flight systems and safety critical functionality.
Distributed communication networks and message standards
Knowledge of military systems and operational tactics
