Robotics Software Engineer

Robotics Software EngineerBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesAnduril 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 TeamThe Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together. We leverage existing Anduril drone platforms like Ghost or Altius, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril's Lattice ecosystem.About The JobRobotics Engineers lead the delivery of vehicle perception and planning capability 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 systems analysis, sensor selection and integration, perception architecture and implementation, motion planning, health management, behavior analysis, simulation and test infrastructure, and interfaces with lower- and higher-level systems. We expect Robotics Engineers to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, driving the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of safe and effective vehicle autonomy on Anduril's autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.What You'll DoOwn customer success through the design and delivery of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder software roadmap that spans across multiple teamsLeverage 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 timePartner with external teams, collaborating on interfacing requirements between diverse systems and technologiesLead teams that architect, design and implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environmentDrive the development and implementation of sensor suites, perception algorithms, planning algorithms, and test fixtures to deliver safe navigation and effective operation of Anduril's autonomous vehiclesPerform high impact IC work in architecture and implementation across the whole perception and planning stackUtilize advanced techniques in computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance perception and planning capabilities of Anduril vehiclesConduct thorough testing and validation of perception and planning algorithms through development and use of simulation and analysis of data from real-world experiments, including evolving the data analysis tooling.Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems engineers, to ensure effective system integration and testingTravel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the timeRequired QualificationsBachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience3+ years of experience in C++ and/or Python software development.Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and camerasDemonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, machine learningExperience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic systemCapacity to act as the technical owner for a system, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolutionAbility to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies for perception and planning modulesCapacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacityEligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearancePreferred QualificationsExperience with autonomous systems in the ground, air, maritime or space domainsExperience with simulation tools and frameworks, such as Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine, for algorithm validation and testingKnowledge of safety standards and certification processes for autonomous systemsFamiliarity with System Engineering conceptsUS Salary Range$191,000 - $253,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
