Job description

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together. We leverage existing Anduril drone platforms like Ghost or Altius, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril's Lattice ecosystem.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining code that controls high-level robotic behavior (behavior trees). Additionally, members of our team contribute to solving a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. You will ensure that Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes. This will require strong systems-level knowledge and experience. If you are someone who possess a "Whatever It Takes" mindset-executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions then this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Develop behavior trees and state machines that control high-level behavior for teams of robots.
  • Write software integrations that enable seamless interactions between autonomy and robotic peripherals e.g. sensors, flight controllers, radios.
  • Own end to end testing of autonomy code from simulation to real world flight and customer deployment.
  • Collaborate with Anduril software platform teams to integrate and develop their products to serve end users.
  • Create and analyze metrics that are leveraged for debugging and monitoring.
  • Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate next-steps.
  • Partner with end-users to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints.
  • Travel up to 25% of the time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world.
CORE REQUIREMENTS
  • Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
  • 3+ years of professional experience programming in Python, C++ or Rust. You must be proficient in Python for developing autonomy behaviors while possessing basic C++ or Rust skills to integrate these behaviors into real-time systems and interact with hardware efficiently.
  • Experience contributing to the stack of real-world robotics applications. e.g. Behaviors, navigation, planning or controls.
  • Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis.
  • Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases.
  • A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact.
  • Must be willing to travel up to 25%.
  • Eligible to obtain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS
  • Strong background with focus in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Motion Planning to inform modeling & simulation (M&S) and physical systems.
  • Developing and testing multi-agent autonomous systems and deploying in real-world environments.
  • Feature and algorithm development with an understanding of behavior trees or state machines.
  • Experience contributing to, modifying or writing code to interface with open-source autopilot software such as Ardupilot or PX4.
  • Developing software/hardware for flight systems and safety critical functionality.
  • Experience with distributed communication networks and message standards.
