Robotics & Simulation Engineer, Discovery

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

The Discovery team at Anduril is at the forefront of incubating and maturing high‑potential, software‑defined, AI‑native offerings that meet the toughest, newest challenges across hardware, software, space, and cyber domains. We're the architects of mission autonomy and mesh networking, delivering scalable hardware solutions that meet some of the most urgent national security needs. By working hand‑in‑hand with elite teams in Perception, AI, Motion Planning, Hardware, Test Engineering, Space, Networking, and Vehicle hardware, we craft cutting‑edge, end‑to‑end systems that redefine mission success.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a Robotics & Simulation Engineer to own the simulation infrastructure, training pipelines, and deployment tooling that underpin our autonomous robotic systems. You will build and maintain the environments our RL and IL engineers train in, the telemetry systems that diagnose real‑world failures, and the safety systems that protect operators and hardware during development and deployment.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own and scale simulation environments for RL training (Isaac Gym, Isaac Lab, MuJoCo), including terrain generation, articulated object models, and domain randomization configurations Build and maintain the training‑to‑deployment pipeline: model export, validation, on‑robot inference, and rollback Develop telemetry and diagnostics tooling for real‑time monitoring of robot state, policy performance, and anomaly detection during field testing Design and implement safety systems: software e‑stops, joint limit monitors, fall detection interlocks, and operator alert systems Build Isaac Sim environments for tasks requiring articulated objects (vehicle models, doors, mechanical assemblies) Optimize training infrastructure for GPU cluster utilization and iteration speed Maintain robot URDF/MJCF models and ensure fidelity between sim and real
