Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
We are seeking an experienced Navigation/Localization Engineer with a strong background in robotics or aerial systems to join our growing team in Costa Mesa, CA.
Responsibilities
As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, Navigation/Localization, you will be developing, integrating, and testing navigation solutions that will allow platforms including Omen and Thunder to operate in the most challenging GNSS-contested environments.
Key responsibilities:
- Implement robust sensor fusion techniques to combine GNSS, IMU, LIDAR, radar, and camera data, improving navigation accuracy and resilience
- Rapidly test, analyze performance, and iterate on algorithm and flight control design in the field
- Develop simulation and testing environment to evaluate the performance of localization solutions under different environmental conditions and scenarios
- Design fault-tolerant algorithms optimized for on-board compute constraints and robust operation in GNSS-contested environments
- Analyze mission requirements and constraints across the Anduril product portfolio to determine optimal navigation, localization, and positioning system architecture
- Architect and improve calibration procedures for sensor suites used in navigation systems
- Work directly with autonomy, flight controls, and hardware teams to integrate navigation solutions into full vehicle systems and close the loop in flight test
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers
Requirements
- Experience in developing, maintaining, or testing navigation / localization algorithms for autonomous vehicles, robotics, drones, maritime vehicles or similar application
- Experience with Kalman filtering and other estimation techniques
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- Strong communication skills and the ability to take large problems and break them down into actionable parts
- Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance
- Travel up to 25%
Preferred Qualifications
- MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Applied Math, Physics, or related field
- Experience with Python, Rust, and Nix software development
- Experience with sensor calibration, sensor fusion, state estimation, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques
- Strong knowledge of navigation principles, including inertial navigation, GPS, and aiding sources (e.g. vision-based navigation)
- Experience with regression testing using data replay from a large number of previously collected datasets
- Experience processing sensor measurements from LIDAR, Electro-Optical sensors, Radar, or RF sensors
- Experience processing sensor measurements from Inertial Measurement Units
- Experience with sensor characterization and modeling
- Experience in Linux and modern software development tooling
- Experience with CUDA and NVIDIA ecosystem
