## Description

This is a senior role for an Algorithm Developer (Localization/GNC) who thrives on building cutting-edge technology from scratch and seeing their creations immediately deployed in the field.

You will be a central architect in shaping Anduril's technical moat in GPS-denied navigation, driving the development of core vision-based navigation (VBN) and advanced sensor fusion algorithms.

While core techniques like VBN and Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) exist, your role will involve pioneering novel approaches and advanced fusion methodologies that push their performance boundaries.

You will apply algorithmic creativity to explore and develop a diverse suite of advanced navigation solutions, including:

- Robust vision-based navigation

- Advanced map matching algorithms

- Terrain contour matching (TERCOM)

- Celestial navigation

- High-fidelity state estimation using various Kalman filter types (Error-State, Invariant Filters)

- Fusion of diverse sensor modalities (IMU, EO/IR, Baro, ToF, Radar Altimeter, Star Trackers)

You'll contribute directly to building capabilities that include collaborative navigation, precision landing on moving or maritime vessels, and developing a common, resilient navigation stack for platforms ranging from submarines and helicopters to boats and trucks.

Join a close, collaborative team where your insights will directly translate into software loaded on vehicles, with rapid flight testing opportunities across diverse, exciting test sites – from captive flights on various vehicles to remote, cool locations.

If you're passionate about making an immediate, tangible impact on national security by developing the most advanced navigation solutions for contested environments, this is your opportunity.
