Descrizione del lavoro

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

Anduril’s Research Scientists excel at developing state-of-the art algorithms and software that solve scientific problems with real-world applications. Working in small innovative teams, our research scientists build solutions that make a difference. Our research endeavors don’t end once we’ve written a journal or conference paper describing our technology; rather, our work is complete when our technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems and our customers within government and industry are successful. As science fiction writer Arthur Clarke wrote, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Therefore, Anduril is seeking talented “magicians” to join in our common struggle of expanding the boundary of what’s possible.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Contribute to the direction of a talented small team with your expertise and ideas;
• Create mathematically principled solutions to some of the world’s most challenging information science problems;
• Prototype state-of-the-art algorithms in an agile development environment;
• Implement high-performance software spanning the spectrum from tactical systems to web applications;
• Use high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments, innovative analysis tools, and flexible compute clusters to quantify the benefit of our technology;
• Engage with our customers, to ensure successful outcomes for their mission-critical needs;
• Help your colleagues and customers understand what you’re doing and why.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• A Research Scientist at Anduril should possess an M.S. or Ph.D. in Applied or Computational Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Controls and Dynamical Systems, Aerospace Engineering, Statistics and Probability, or a related field.
• A Research Scientist should have a record of academic excellence, including demonstrated experience in most of the following areas:
  • Applied Mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis, and continuous or discrete optimization;
  • Engineering: controls, estimation theory, digital signal processing, and machine learning;
  • Scientific Computing: software design, algorithm implementation, and software analysis, testing, and optimization;
  • Probability: statistics and random processes.
• A Research Scientist should have effective written and verbal communication skills, with the demonstrated ability to convey salient details about advanced technology in a compelling manner to both experts and non-experts alike.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance

We request transcripts as part of the early application process to understand your academic background and how your coursework supports the skills deemed critical for the role. Transcripts help us assess your technical and analytical abilities, complementing our interview process in which we also evaluate practical experience and cultural fit. If you choose not to share your transcripts, you will need to provide detailed information regarding your academic performance in relevant courses, including projects and coursework specifics, to ensure we evaluate your academic accomplishments properly. If you do provide academic transcripts, feel free to redact non-technical information (e.g., student ID, dates, non-technical coursework, etc.). Unofficial transcripts obtained online acceptable for this assessment.
