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
Small drones are hard to hit. Hitting them from a moving aircraft is harder. We need a Staff Software Engineer to own software integration of Omen’s airborne counter-UAS effector payload end to end, and to build the team around it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years building software for robotic or autonomous systems, including at least one system you carried from concept to field deployment
- Strong engineering background, ideally in Robotics, Computer Science, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering
- Experience leading multidisciplinary software teams, including hiring
- Strong Rust or C++ for real-time and embedded systems, plus Python for tools and analysis
- Deep experience in target tracking and sensor fusion: state estimation, filtering, data association, and track quality on small, maneuvering targets
- Experience with guidance, motion planning, or control for fast-moving vehicles, and a working grasp of the latency and bandwidth tradeoffs that come with it
