Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
Anduril's Maritime Division has assembled a diverse team of experts in software, robotics, artificial intelligence, sensor fusion, and data analysis to create software and hardware solutions that radically evolve the capabilities of our customers.
As a Staff Robotics Engineer, Maritime, you will lead the delivery of vehicle perception and planning capability integrated into our products, acting as technical leads, extremely senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors.
Responsibilities:
- Own customer success through the design and delivery of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder software roadmap that spans across multiple teams.
- Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time.
- Partner with external teams, collaborating on interfacing requirements between diverse systems and technologies.
- Lead teams that architect, design and implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
- Drive the development and implementation of sensor suites, perception algorithms, planning algorithms, and test fixtures to deliver safe navigation and effective operation of Anduril's autonomous vehicles.
- Perform high impact IC work in architecture and implementation across the whole perception and planning stack.
- 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.
Required Qualifications:
- 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 co-ordination, 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.
Benefits: Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) that ensures you're supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
