Jobbeschreibung

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Air Dominance team builds Mission Autonomy for Group 5 Collaborative Combat Aircraft, uncrewed platforms designed to fly alongside crewed and uncrewed aircraft, delivering affordable mass in contested environments. We build the Mission Autonomy, not the flight controls: the decision-maker for the entire mission, from startup through execution to shutdown. Many sensors in, one trusted decision out, explainable enough to certify. That's the problem you'd own.

ABOUT THE JOB

Staff Robotics Engineers lead the delivery of mission autonomy capability, acting as technical leads, senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors. This includes operational analysis and concept of employment modelling, autonomy architecture and implementation, mission and route planning, task allocation and multi-ship coordination, crewed-uncrewed teaming interfaces, contingency and health management, behaviour analysis and the assurance evidence that supports airworthiness, simulation and test infrastructure, and interfaces with lower-level vehicle autonomy and higher-level command and control. We expect Staff Robotics Engineers to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, driving the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of safe and effective mission autonomy on Anduril's autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own customer success through the design and delivery of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder software roadmap that spans across multiple teams
• Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time
• Partner with external teams, collaborating on interfacing requirements between diverse systems and technologies
• Lead teams that architect, design and implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment
• Drive the development and implementation of sensor suites, perception algorithms, planning algorithms, and test fixtures to deliver safe navigation and effective operation of Anduril’s autonomous vehicles
• Perform high impact IC work in architecture and implementation across the whole perception and planning stack
• Utilise advanced techniques in computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance perception and planning capabilities of Anduril vehicles
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of perception and planning algorithms through development and use of simulation and analysis of data from real-world experiments, including evolving the data analysis tooling.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems engineers, to ensure effective system integration and testing
• Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
