Scientific 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.

Anduril s Air & Missile Defense Radar team develops cutting-edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time. Working in small, focused teams, our software engineers design and implement sophisticated tracking solutions that protect lives and critical assets. Our work spans the full spectrum—from developing novel multi-target tracking algorithms to building high-performance distributed systems that process massive amounts of sensor data in milliseconds.

We don t just publish papers; we deploy production-grade systems that our government and industry customers depend on for mission-critical operations. If you re passionate about applying mathematics, software engineering, and signal processing to solve complex real-world problems, we want to hear from you.

Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques. Develop high-performance, real-time software systems that process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets. Build and leverage modeling & simulation environments to validate tracking performance, quantify system capabilities, and identify areas for improvement. Collaborate directly with radar engineers and system architects to integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems.

Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where milliseconds matter. Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, program leadership, and customers to drive informed decisions. Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness.
