## 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 a Modeling and Simulation Engineer to develop and validate software tools for analyzing sensor and vehicle configurations in autonomous systems.

## Responsibilities

- Sensor and Vehicle Modeling: Develop accurate models of sensors (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, IMUs) and vehicles to simulate performance under various configurations.

- Simulation Validation: Ensure simulated sensors and platforms closely match physical hardware performance in real-world conditions.

- Software Tooling: Build and maintain software tools for visualizing, analyzing, and optimizing sensor and vehicle configurations.

- Performance Analysis: Conduct technical evaluations of sensor configurations to assess range, accuracy, and other performance metrics.

- Optimization: Explore trade-offs in sensor placement, platform design, and environmental factors to maximize system performance.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with perception, autonomy, and hardware teams to ensure simulation results inform real-world designs.

- Data Visualization: Develop intuitive visualization tools to present complex simulation results to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Iterative Improvement: Continuously refine models and tools based on feedback from physical testing and deployed systems.

## Requirements

- Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

- Sensor Modeling Experience: Proven experience modeling sensors like LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, and GPS in simulation.

- Simulation Tools: Proficiency with simulation frameworks such as Unreal Engine.

- Software Development: Strong programming skills in C++ and Python for building simulation tools and analysis pipelines.

- Data Visualization: Experience creating tools or dashboards for visualizing simulation results.

- Physics-Based Modeling: Familiarity with physics-based simulation techniques for accurate environmental and sensor modeling.

- Systems Integration: Ability to validate and align simulation models with real-world hardware and systems.

- Analytical Skills: Strong ability to analyze and interpret simulation data for performance evaluation.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Real-World Hardware Experience: Hands-on experience with physical sensors and understanding of their operational characteristics.

- Optimization Techniques: Knowledge of optimization algorithms for sensor placement or system design.

- Machine Learning: Familiarity with AI/ML techniques for improving simulation fidelity or analyzing sensor data.

- Advanced Visualization: Experience with tools like Matplotlib, Plotly, or 3D visualization libraries.

- Embedded Systems: Understanding of hardware constraints and system-level trade-offs in sensor integration.

- Security Clearance: Active U.S. Secret clearance is a plus.

## Benefits

- Healthcare Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you.

- Income Protection: Anduril covers life and disability insurance for all employees.

- Generous time off: Highly competitive PTO plans with a holiday hiatus in December.

- Family Planning & Parenting Support: Coverage for fertility treatments, adoption, and gestational carriers, along with resources to support you and your partner from planning to parenting.

- Mental Health Resources: Access free mental health resources 24/7, including therapy and life coaching.

- Professional Development: Annual reimbursement for professional development.

- Commuter Benefits: Company-funded commuter benefits based on your region.

- Retirement Savings Plan: Traditional 401(k), Roth, and after-tax options.
