Role

Who you are

  • Proficiency in full robotics system stack, from integrating sensor technology to robotic movement actuation. Partial stack is okay
  • 4+ years working with Rust or C++
  • Solid grasp of networking principles, including CAN and Ethernet protocols, along with expertise in hardware interfacing, diagnostic tools (e.g., Wireshark, CANoe), and cybersecurity principles as they pertain to secure and reliable sensor data transmission
  • Demonstrated experience in designing and building software solutions for high-volume data processing and sophisticated sensor data analysis
  • Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics

Desirable

  • Python, Rust, and/or Go experience
  • Experience with sensor data integration for applications like robotic movement and computer vision is a plus
  • A solid understanding of real-time systems and embedded software development

What the job involves

  • As a Software Engineer on the Sentry Tower Product Team you will be responsible for building and maintaining software for current and next generation Sentry Tower systems
  • This will include interacting with stakeholders like Anduril's business lines of Air Defense and Counter Intrusion all the way from internal engineering customers to the people in the field
  • Prioritizing what is important to create an excellent experience for them in the long run
  • Own feature development and rollout for our products - recent examples include: building a Software-in-the-Loop simulator for our Tower product, writing an autofocus control system for cameras, creating a distributed over IPC coordinate frame library, redesigning the Pan-Tilt controls to accurately move heavy loads
  • Design, evaluate, and implement sensor integrations that support operation by both human and autonomous planning agents
  • Be responsible for service ownership, ensuring functionality, reliability, and alignment with customer objectives
  • Submit well-documented, tested pull requests addressing TSW's critical issues

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.
