What the job involves
- Anduril’s Simulation software group is seeking a Software Technical Lead Manager to lead our Software Integration Environment (SIE) team
- The SIE team owns a compute platform aimed at simulation testing/software-in-the-loop workflows
- The SIE team owns the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of the platform

- Collaborate across organizations (design, business development, security) to deliver the SIE as an external-facing Anduril software product
- Uphold the team's technical bar by performing design/code reviews and providing technical mentorship
- Own the SIE's infrastructure stack and release management to ensure the SIE is easily deployable to new use cases, including in offline/air-gapped environments

Our take
Anduril makes hardware and software for defense agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Its hardware products include specialist drones with a long flight time and surveillance towers.
This hardware is tied together by proprietary software, the Lattice platform, which uses sensor fusion, machine learning, and mesh networking to integrate real-time data from Anduril hardware and third-party systems into a single, autonomous operating picture. While the hardware observes and detects, the software can make decisions as to the threat level of any anomalies, and so allow for observation and protection of an area or building with minimal manpower.
Anduril closed a Series E funding round in 2022 led by Valor Equity Partners. This funding was used for research and development of its autonomous defense products, such as the Roadrunner, a modular twin-jet powered autonomous vehicle that can take off and land vertically. Variants of the Roadrunner include defensive warhead armed interceptors which are the first drone weapons that can be retrieved after deployment. The company has also expanded to Australia where it is working in tandem with the Australian Defence Force to improve its military technology and infrastructure and is recruiting talent worldwide to support its rapidly growing portfolio of defense projects.
