Job description

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 Air & Missile Defense Radar team develops cutting‑edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real‑time. Working in small, focused teams, our software engineers design and implement sophisticated tracking solutions that protect lives and critical assets. Our work spans the full spectrum—from developing novel multi‑target tracking algorithms to building high‑performance distributed systems that process massive amounts of sensor data in milliseconds.

We don't just publish papers; we deploy production‑grade systems that our government and industry customers depend on for mission‑critical operations. If you're passionate about applying mathematics, software engineering, and signal processing to solve complex real‑world problems, we want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi‑target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques
• Develop high-performance, real‑time software systems that process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets
• Build and leverage modeling & simulation environments to validate tracking performance, quantify system capabilities, and identify areas for improvement
• Collaborate directly with radar engineers and system architects to integrate tracking solutions into end‑to‑end defense systems
• Optimize tracking software for performance‑critical environments where milliseconds matter
• Communicate technical concepts and trade‑offs to cross‑functional teams, program leadership, and customers to drive informed decisions
• Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
