Software Engineer

Position: Staff Software Engineer
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's Maritime Division has assembled a diverse team of experts in software, robotics, artificial intelligence, sensor fusion, and data analysis to create software and hardware solutions that radically evolve the capabilities of our customers. We are fielding the next generation of autonomous systems to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of maritime operations. Anduril has brought to market a unique, ultra-long-range, full-ocean-depth underwater vessel platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from "small" to "extra-large" vehicle sizes.

Today, Anduril is executing on billion-dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) AUV operations.

We are seeking to sustain our early successes with deep investment in an expanded product portfolio. These core products, including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, Seabed Sentry, and other unannounced systems form the backbone of the Maritime portfolio. The core remit of this team is to architect a true system-of-systems that combines and orchestrates disparate sensors and platforms to deliver a coherent effect, enabling the end-to-end execution of a variety of autonomous missions in the maritime domain.

If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact and working on systems that directly contribute to achieving national strategic priorities, we want you to join Anduril's Maritime Division and help us build the future of defense capability.

About the Job

Staff Software Engineers lead the delivery of a variety of software integrated in to our products, acting as technical leads, extremely senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors. This includes autonomy, simulation, data processing, payload integration, and off-board command and control and decision support. We expect Staff Software Engineers to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, from the user's Lattice terminal to the robot performing commands, driving the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.

What You'll Do

* Own customer success through the design and delivery of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder software and hardware roadmap that spans across many teams across the company

* Design and build a robust, MOSA-compliant systems (HTTP, gRPC) and data models that allow plug-and-play integration of first and third party sensors, payloads, and legacy defense platforms

* Develop and execute the frontend and backend systems, in partnership with other software teams across the company, that power our Single Pane of Glass orchestration engine, enabling a single operator to manage multi-domain, multi-vehicle operations

* Deploy to the edge, working closely with end-user customers and robots, to push capabilities to the maritime hardware operating in highly constrained, communications denied environments

* Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time

* Drive architecture selection and design for robotic 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

* Contribute to the design and development of a company wide roadmap for software inputs to autonomous systems

* Lead teams that develop software that runs on-and-off-platform, using a variety of technologies

* Act as a subject matter expert for software engineering, representing software equities in a multi-stakeholder environment including engineering, business and sales leadership.

* Drive the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of software, including full lifecycle testing

* Drive the creation of test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop

* Treat the ocean as validation, building and scaling high-fidelity Software-in-the-Loop (SITL/SIL)…
