Director Fidelity Software Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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. We are fielding the next generation of autonomous systems to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of maritime operations. Anduril has brought to market a unique, ultra-long-range, full-ocean-depth underwater vessel platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from "small" to "extra-large" vehicle sizes. Today, Anduril is executing on billion-dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) AUV operations.
We are seeking to sustain our early successes with deep investment in an expanded product portfolio. These core products, including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, Seabed Sentry, and other unannounced systems form the backbone of the Maritime portfolio. The core remit of this team is to architect a true system-of-systems that combines and orchestrates disparate sensors and platforms to deliver a coherent effect, enabling the end-to-end execution of a variety of autonomous missions in the maritime domain. If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact and working on systems that directly contribute to achieving national strategic priorities, we want you to join Anduril's Maritime Division and help us build the future of defense capability.

Staff Software Engineers lead the delivery of a variety of software integrated in to our products, acting as technical leads, extremely senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors. This includes autonomy, simulation, data processing, payload integration, and off-board command and control and decision support. We expect Staff Software Engineers to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, from the user's Lattice terminal to the robot performing commands, driving the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.
