Desirable

• The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy
• We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together
• We leverage existing Anduril drone platforms like Ghost or Altius, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril’s Lattice ecosystem
• We develop Perception and Autonomy algorithms to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers
• We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful robotics stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications
• Write and maintain core libraries (frame transformations, targeting and guidance, etc.) that all robotics platforms at Anduril will use
• Own feature development and rollout for our products - recent examples include building a Software-in-the-Loop simulator for our Anvil product, characterizing and improving Ghost helicopter battery consumption with route planning, designing an autofocus control system for IR cameras
• Design, evaluate, and implement sensor integrations that support operation by both human and autonomous planning agents
• Work closely with our hardware and manufacturing teams during product development, providing quick feedback that contributes to the final hardware design
