Job description

• The Air Dominance & Strike team at Anduril develops aerial and multi-domain robotic systems.
• The team is responsible for taking products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile) from concept to product.
• The team also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Anduril’s premier software platform that enables masses of Fury, Barracuda, and other first and third party robots to collaborate across various missions.
• We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Motion Planning, Hardware, and Test Engineering to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers.
• We’re seeking Software Engineers to build the core Command and Control software for our Lattice platform.
• This team is responsible for bridging the gap between hardware and human operators.
• Our software runs both on the vehicles managing real‑time telemetry, health, and autopilot tasks and on the Ground Control Station enabling operators to plan missions, visualize maps, manage massive fleets, and orchestrate complex autonomous behaviors.
• We are also pioneering the integration of GenAI agents into our systems, allowing operators to direct autonomous assets using natural language interfaces.
• This is a highly autonomous role where you will build, ship, and see your code run on physical hardware deployed in the world.
