Job description

Senior Modelling and Simulation Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

At Anduril Australia we are developing un-crewed maritime and air domain systems that leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of long endurance, multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects, including but not limited to the Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) Program, require Senior Modelling and Simulation Engineers with deep experience with platform simulation. The Senior Modelling and Simulation Engineer strives to leverage their experience to support the rapid design, delivery, support, and evolution of next generation autonomous vehicles through the entire product life-cycle.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead the design, development, integration and support of next-generation modeling and simulation architecture that enables the continuous delivery of capability orders of magnitude faster than the competition
• Act as the subject matter expert for design and implementation of engineering level simulation of Anduril platforms, including physical interaction with the environment, as well as platform, system, subsystem, component and device level models.
• Simulate solutions for Guidance, Navigation and Control algorithm and Vehicle Management System component implementations.
• Collaborate with vendors and/or customers to integrate external models within the Anduril engineering simulation architecture.
• Create models and test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop
• Contribute to the design and development of other software systems and sub-systems
• Contribute to the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of robotic software, including full lifecycle testing
• Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment
• Work as a member of a multi-disciplinary software team, including as a mentor for Software Engineers from differing backgrounds

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
• Extensive experience with platform physics based modelling and simulation.
• Experience writing C, C++ or Python
• Systems and/or application programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency and optimization
• Capacity to work holistically on software enabled capabilities up and down the software stack and through lifecycle through design, implementation, operation and sustainment
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolution
• Capacity learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
• Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in a senior role for the simulation and delivery of a robotic system, particularly in the air, maritime or space domains
• Experience with flight dynamics and platform physics and control
• Experience with MATLAB and Simulink
• Familiarity with communications busses and protocols such as CAN, CANFD, ARINC-825, ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, Ethernet, etc
• Experience within the product delivery lifecycle including manufacturing, system acceptance, deployment, and sustainment.
• Familiarity with System Engineering concepts
• Desire to learn and grow in to other roles that require experience as a Senior Software Engineer, such as Principal Software Engineer and/or Engineering Manager
• Desire to grow in to a Tech-Lead-Manager role, with responsibility for line management of engineers, in addition to delivery
