These products, including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, Seabed Sentry, and other unannounced systems, will deliver a coherent system-of-systems, enabling the end-to-end conduct of a variety of autonomous missions in the maritime domain.
Job Description
Senior Robotics Engineers independently drive delivery of vehicle perception and planning capability integrated into our products. 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
- Design and implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems that balance constraints, restrictions, and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
- Design and implement scalable sub-systems including sensor processing, perception, tracking, motion planning, health management, anomaly detection, simulation, testing fixtures, and vehicle interfaces.
- Contribute to the design and 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.
- Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
- 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.
- Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system.
- Capacity to act as the technical owner for a system, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team coordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution.
- Ability to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies for perception and planning modules.
- Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion, and capacity.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
- 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.
