Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
As a Senior Numerical Optimization Engineer on this unique initiative, you will own the scheduling optimization core that decides when and how ships get built. This project represents a shipyard's work as a graph of 100,000+ manufacturing operations carrying precedence, spatial, resource, and qualification constraints, then continuously replans as the factory changes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience building production software systems, ideally in a fast-paced environment
- Deep expertise in numerical optimization, including linear programming, mixed-integer linear programming, constraint programming, combinatorial optimization, or metaheuristics
- Demonstrated ability to take a real-world problem, formulate it as a mathematical model, and carry that model all the way into a system other people depend on
- Hands-on experience with optimization solvers and libraries (E.g. Gurobi, CPLEX, OR-Tools, SCIP, PuLP, CVXPY, Pyomo), including the judgment to recognize when a given solver or formulation is the wrong tool
- Expert proficiency in Python for scientific computing and robust software development, with strong foundations in numerical computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas)
- Strong theoretical and practical grounding in graph algorithms, constraint satisfaction, and computational complexity analysis
More about this role
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.
Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the full technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system (ArsenalOS) that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems...
