Winter 2027 Robotics Engineer Co-op

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

You will contribute to the delivery of vehicle perception and planning capability integrated into Anduril's products as a Robotics Engineer. This includes systems analysis, sensor selection and integration, perception architecture and implementation, motion planning, health management, behavior analysis, simulation and test infrastructure, and interfaces with lower- and higher-level systems.

Responsibilities:

• Implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment
• Implement scalable sub-systems including sensor processing, perception, tracking, motion planning, health management, anomaly detection, simulation, testing fixtures, and vehicle interfaces
• Contribute to the development of existing software components across Anduril, with the aim of developing components that are re-usable across multiple Anduril product lines
• Utilize advanced techniques in computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance perception and planning capabilities of Anduril vehicles
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of perception and planning algorithms through development and use of simulation and analysis of data from real-world experiments, including evolving the data analysis tooling
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems engineers, to ensure effective system integration and testing

Requirements:

• Must be pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Must be returning to school at the end of the internship to continue academic studies for at least one quarter or semester.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities; U.S. clearance eligibility may be required depending on program.
• Ability to complete a 16 to 24-week in-person co-op in one of our offices in winter 2027.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experienced and proficient in C++ and/or Python software development
• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras
• Demonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, machine learning
• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies for perception and planning modules
• Experience with autonomous systems in the ground, air, maritime or space domains
• Experience with simulation tools and frameworks, such as Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine, for algorithm validation and testing
• Knowledge of safety standards and certification processes for autonomous systems
• Familiarity with System Engineering concepts

Benefits:

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive and competitive benefits package
