Senior Rust Engineer - Real-Time Tracking & Estimation

Anduril Industries; Waltham (MA); On-site; USD 220,000 - 292,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries seeks a senior software engineer to lead a small team and shape the direction of target tracking and state estimation efforts. You will architect and evolve high-performance Rust-based systems, refactor legacy code, and deliver scalable software for real-time sensor data processing.

Responsibilities include prototyping advanced estimation algorithms, implementing robust filters, and guiding production deployments.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with a technical degree.
• Experience evolving software architecture in production, refactoring legacy systems and managing technical debt.
• At least 2+ years on a single codebase, expanding it as requirements evolved.
• Strong understanding of design patterns and scalable system architecture.
• Proficiency in Rust, C/C++, Python; Matlab is a plus.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging your subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
• Architect, maintain, and evolve complex software systems, refactoring existing codebases to improve performance, maintainability, and scalability.
• 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 Rust 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.
• Apply software design patterns and architectural best practices to manage technical debt and guide the evolution of production systems over time.
• 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.
