Anduril's Research Scientists develop state-of-the-art algorithms and software that solve scientific problems with real-world applications. Working in small innovative teams, they build solutions that make a difference. Their research endeavours don't end once they've written a journal or conference paper describing their technology; rather, their work is complete when their technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems and their customers within government and industry are successful.

  • Prototype state-of-the-art algorithms in an agile development environment;
  • Implement high-performance software spanning the spectrum from tactical systems to web applications;
  • Use high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments, innovative analysis tools, and flexible compute clusters to quantify the benefit of our technology;
  • Engage with our customers, to ensure successful outcomes for their mission-critical needs;
  • Help your colleagues and customers understand what you're doing and why.

Required qualifications include:

  • An M.S. or Ph.D. in Applied or Computational Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Controls and Dynamical Systems, Aerospace Engineering, Statistics and Probability, or a related field;
  • A record of academic excellence, including demonstrated experience in most of the following areas:
  • Applied Mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis, and continuous or discrete optimization;
  • Engineering: controls, estimation theory, digital signal processing, and machine learning;
  • Scientific Computing: software design, algorithm implementation, and software analysis, testing, and optimization;
  • Probability: statistics and random processes;
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the demonstrated ability to convey salient details about advanced technology in a compelling manner to both experts and non-experts alike;
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.

The salary range for this role is $165,000-$218,000 USD per year. Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans, and equity grants.
