## Description

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

The Tactical Recon & Strike team at Anduril develops aerial small drones and equipment to test, deploy, and operate. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from concepts to operational systems.

We are looking for Android Engineers to join our team. As an Android Engineer at Anduril, you will be architecting and building out user interface applications from backend to frontend, deploying them to users, and making sure they're meeting users' requirements.

## Responsibilities

- Design, build, test, and deploy real-time, map-based user interfaces for displaying and interacting with sensor data and controlling the Ghost, Altius, and Bolt aircraft from an Android application through the Android Tactical Assault Kit's (ATAK) plugin ecosystem to enable tactical control for end users.

- Define and implement APIs for network communications, real-time telemetry, vehicle configuration, sensor/payload control with full motion video streaming, manual controls, and autonomous tasking.

- Help define foundational software architectures, visual designs, and user experience/interaction workflows for multiple UAS, working directly with chief engineers, product designers, program managers, flight test engineers, and end-user customers to demonstrate capability and iterate on feedback.

- Work directly with Android frontend technologies like Jetpack Compose, high-performance backend technologies like Java/Kotlin/C++/Rust/Golang, and software product lifecycle technologies like CMake/Cargo/gradle/NixOS/CircleCI/Docker.

- Work directly with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) SDK and the TAK Product Centers' developer community.

- Work alongside engineers using multiple other full stack technologies like TypeScript/React, C++/Qt, and C#/.NET.

- Test and evaluate your software at multiple levels of rigor using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets.

## Required Qualifications

- Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or another related technical degree.

- Experience developing software for user interface applications, especially high-traffic, data-intensive, or map-based systems.

- Proficiency with modern Android programming languages including Jetpack Compose, XML, Java, and Kotlin.

- Proficiency with modern backend/middleware programming languages such as C++, Rust, or Golang.

- Familiarity with client/server networking technologies and relationships such as TCP/UDP/Multicast, HTTP (REST), or protobuf/gRPC.

- Proven ability to empathize with users, to break down user needs into software features, and to balance the ideal user experience with practical engineering constraints.

- Willingness to provide on-call support to various clients.

- Ability to travel up to 30% of the time, potentially including some international travel.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience working with the DoD where safety is paramount, regulations must be balanced, and operational environments are tightly controlled.

- Experience with robotic systems where hardware, physical actuators, datalink networks, sensors, and effectors are employed to translate software concepts to physical interactions with the world.

- Experience in a startup or small company working environment where deadlines are tight, requirements are open-ended, and the teams are often fewer than 10 people.

- Experience with 3D geospatial analysis and mapping software such as ArcGIS, Cesium, MapBox, or TAK.

- Experience developing user interface software that does not require Internet access or has local/offline functionality.

- Exposure to build system and software lifecycle technologies such as CMake, Cargo, gradle, NixOS, CircleCI, Gitlab-CI, Docker, Python, Bash, and other developer operations tools.

- Exposure to technologies related to Ghost, Altius, or Bolt such as flight mechanics, UAV control, mesh networking, full motion video processing, and intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance sensors.

- Exposure to aviation such as a hobbyist RC piloting, holding a Private Pilot License or Part 107 Remote Pilot License, or similar.

## Benefits

At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you're supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
