## Description

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

At Anduril, our Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team specializes in solving complex, real-world problems through cutting-edge algorithms and intelligent software integrations.

As a Software Engineer, GNC, you will contribute hands-on to a small, collaborative team within the Command and Control Software organization, applying your growing expertise in path planning and route optimization.

Responsibilities:

- Prototype and help deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for global and local path planning, trajectory optimization, and multi-agent coordination within command and control systems.

- Help develop online (real-time) path planning capabilities that replan safely and efficiently as mission conditions, threats, and vehicle states change.

- Design and develop high-performance software for real-time C2 systems deployed on operational platforms in the field.

- Implement robust planners, search algorithms, and decision-making systems that generate safe, feasible, and optimal routes in dynamic, uncertain, and contested environments.

- Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations, modeling tools, and statistical techniques to validate planner behavior across diverse mission scenarios.

- Support customer success by developing and implementing algorithms and software for mission-critical use cases.

- Integrate path planning technologies into the broader command and control software stack and development lifecycle.

- Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders.

Requirements:

- 3+ years of experience in algorithm design, software development, and mathematical modeling with programming expertise in C/C++ and/or Rust.

- Strong knowledge of path planning techniques, such as graph-based search (A*, D* Lite), sampling-based planners (RRT, RRT*, PRM), and online/real-time replanning approaches.

- Demonstrated experience in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC); trajectory optimization and trajectory prediction; and/or the development of predictive models for vehicle dynamics and weapon system effectiveness.

- Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, computational geometry, and graph theory.

- Knowledge of vehicle dynamics, kinematic constraints, and control theory as applied to autonomous ground, air, or maritime platforms tasked through C2 systems.

Nice to Have:

- Experience with Rust for high-performance, safety-critical software.

- Exposure to mixed greenfield/brownfield codebases, including extending an existing planning/routing stack in production.

Benefits:

- Highly competitive equity grants

- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including health, recovery, and other support

Salary Range: $129,000-$171,000 USD
