Robotics Software Engineer, Air Vehicle Autonomy
Seattle, Washington, United States
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 21st‑century innovators 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 real‑time, 3‑D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to delivering cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military faster than traditional development cycles.
ABOUT THE TEAM The Air Dominance & Strike team develops aerial and multi‑domain robotic systems. The team takes products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air‑breathing cruise missile) from concept to production. It also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Anduril’s premier software platform that enables thousands of Fury, Barracuda, and other first‑ and third‑party robots to collaborate across multiple missions. Working closely with specialized teams (Perception, Motion Planning, Hardware, and Test Engineering), the team solves some of the toughest problems our customers face. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about building a powerful autonomy 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, such as motion deconfliction and contingency management of fast‑moving air vehicles.
Own major feature development and rollout of large, complex features, including terminal‑phase autonomy for various air vehicles and test plans for 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 toward 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 a 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.
3+ years experience with C++ or Rust in a Linux development environment.
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.
