Job summary

Anduril Industries in the United States is seeking a software engineer specializing in target tracking, state estimation, and real‑time systems to join our fast‑paced team. You will work on high‑fidelity sensor fusion and state estimation in agile environments.

The role involves prototyping advanced algorithms, deploying software for tactical and simulation use, and delivering robust estimates from noisy sensor data. A Top Secret clearance is required or obtainable.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling with programming expertise in C/C++, Python, and Matlab.
• Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques, such as Kalman filters, particle filters, and multi-target tracking algorithms (e.g., JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters).
• Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
• Knowledge of signal processing techniques for interpreting diverse sensor data (e.g., radar, lidar, EO/IR).
• Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and the efficient handling of large-scale sensor data.
• Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection techniques.
• Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles, from prototyping to optimizing production systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging your subject‑matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
• Prototype and deploy state‑of‑the‑art algorithms for tracking, multi‑sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile, iterative development environments.
• Develop high‑performance software for real‑time systems, ranging from tactical implementations to simulation environments and decision support tools.
• Design and implement robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that enable actionable insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
• Analyze system performance using high‑fidelity simulations, innovative modeling tools, and rigorous statistical techniques to validate the benefits of our technology.
• Drive customer success by customizing algorithms and software for mission‑critical use cases, including real‑time tracking and sensor fusion.
• Integrate tracking and estimation technologies into the broader software development lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.
• Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders, including colleagues and end‑users.
