Position: Senior Software Engineer, Mission System, Maritime with Security Clearance
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 Anduril is fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of seabed exploration. Anduril has brought to the market a unique, ultra-long-range, full-ocean-depth platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from "large" to "extra-large" vehicle sizes.

Today, Anduril is executing on multi-million-dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) AUV operations. ABOUT THE JOB As a Mission Systems Software Engineer on Anduril's Maritime team, you will develop the core decision-making and autonomy software that powers our autonomous underwater vehicles. You will design and implement the logic that enables these systems to understand their environment, navigate safely, respond to obstacles or threats, and execute missions with limited human involvement.

This includes building mission behaviors, integrating sensor data, and ensuring reliable performance in real-world maritime conditions. WHAT YOU'LL DO
* As a technical leader, join a small team of engineers that owns all software running on maritime assets
* Leverage the Anduril Software Product organization to implement and introduce cross-domain solutions for autonomy on the edge
* Generate system solutions to increase reliability, ease-of-use, and capability across a variety of customer missions
* Write and maintain core libraries (frame transformations, targeting and guidance, communications, etc.) that all robotics platforms at Anduril will use
* Drive architecture selection and design for robotic mission systems, including hardware selection, compute, storage and network architecture Service orchestration and other software platform concerns that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment
* Own major feature developments for the Dive-LD and manage rollout to the fleet
* Travel up to 15% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
* Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics
* Proven understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and code optimization
