Role

Who you are

BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
3+ years experience developing production grade software
Proficiency in production-grade C++ software development
Strong math skills, especially in linear algebra and probability
Passion for defending the United States and her allies
Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. TS/SCI security clearance

Desirable

We are looking for engineers with foundations in one or more of the following areas and are interested in learning more:
Experience processing sensor measurements from Radar, Optical Sensors, RF Sensors, or LIDAR
Experience with sensor characterization and modeling
Familiarity with classical and contemporary approaches for state estimation and tracking (e.g. Kalman Filter, Particle Filter)
Derivation of performance metrics and analysis of system performance
Multi-target prediction and tracking (e.g., Multi-hypothesis tracking)
Probabilistic inference and Bayesian likelihood estimation (e.g., Markov Chain Monte Carlo)
Experience in unmanned aerial systems
Experience in Docker, CircleCI, Linux

What the job involves

Our engineers also apply classical techniques in computer vision to perceive environmental features for pose estimation and GPS-denied navigation
Estimation and Tracking engineers at Anduril develop cutting edge software for autonomous operation and situational awareness
We apply convolutional deep learning techniques to multi-spectral sensor inputs for autonomous detection and classification
Lattice Ghost UAS, Sentry Tower and other autonomous platforms work in tandem to fuse these detections using Bayesian inference

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 $1 billion Series G funding round in 2025 led by the Founders Fund, doubling its valuation to $30 billion. This oversubscribed funding round came after the company doubled its revenue in 2024, when it won a contract with the US military to build its soldiers' VY/AR headsets for combat, a contract the company beat Microsoft to.
