Perception Engineer, Anduril Industries

• BS in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Proven understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and code optimization
• Strong computer vision and machine learning background and fluency in standard domain libraries (numpy, opencv, pytorch, etc)
• Experience deploying software to end customers, internal or external — turning research and development efforts into used software
• Strong C++ experience in a Linux development environment
• Must be open to up to 25% travel for field testing and demonstrations
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. TS/SCI security clearance

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
• Develop and evaluate machine learning and computer vision techniques for object detection and tracking
• Deploy these approaches to operational settings, by moving features along a release process that starts in simulation and ends running in an embedded and operational context
• Evaluate and characterize cameras and gimbals to inform autonomy system constraints and performance expectations
• Design experiments, data collection efforts, and curate training/evaluation sets to develop insights both for internal Anduril purposes as well as customers, deciding the features and implementing them
• Drive the flight testing and test configuration for evaluating the implemented features against real data on target hardware for validating technical approaches
• Work closely with vendors and government stakeholders as we seek to advance the art of possible for large drone teams
