Senior Computer Vision 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 Lattice software platform integrates together many sensors into a single cohesive view of the world, providing needed context for our users. Anduril’s Frontier AI team builds edge-compatible, generative AI systems into the Lattice software platform to provide features and products that improve autonomy and reduce cognitive burden on the warfighter. Specific applications include but are not limited to automating mission planning, battle-space understanding, voice-control of assets, and enabling higher-levels of autonomy. ABOUT THE JOB Computer Vision Engineers on Anduril's Frontier AI team build edge-compatible systems that transform Lattice's complex multi-sensor inputs into accurate, actionable understanding of the world. We integrate ambitious ML and CV algorithms directly into the Lattice platform to increase the fidelity, accuracy, and usefulness of battlefield awareness. These systems improve the experience of Anduril's existing customers, aid in the scaling of our business to new customers, use-cases, and business lines, and they create high-quality snapshots of the world that autonomous and agentic systems can operate on top of.
