- The team is responsible for taking crewed and uncrewed ground systems from paper sketches to operational systems
- We are looking for software engineers excited about fielding the next generation of software-defined ground combat systems
- The software engineers will leverage technologies and tools including cloud computing, distributed simulation, and emerging digital engineering capabilities to enable the deployment, operation, and fleet management of autonomous systems
- We are hiring a Cloud Infrastructure Deployment Software Engineer to design and build cloud infrastructure for the simulation, testing and deployment of software and hardware for uncrewed ground combat systems
- Work with a diverse team of systems engineers and software engineers to define and build a software-first integration, test and deployment environment for uncrewed ground combat systems

- Collaborate with team members and partners in the autonomy domain to build technologies and processes which enable users to safely and rapidly develop, deploy, and upgrade autonomous systems at scale
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.
