Full-stack Software Engineer, Mission Autonomy

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Air Dominance & Strike : Air Dominance & Strike Engineering : Mission Software Engineering

Full-Stack Software Engineer for Anduril's Air Dominance & Strike team, focusing on building core Command and Control software for their Lattice platform. This involves real-time telemetry, autopilot tasks, mission planning, fleet management, and orchestrating complex autonomous behaviors. The role also pioneers the integration of GenAI agents for natural language control of autonomous assets, with code deployed on physical hardware.

What you'd actually do

  1. build the core Command and Control software for our Lattice platform
  2. bridging the gap between hardware and human operators
  3. runs both on the vehicles managing real-time telemetry, health, and autopilot tasks and on the Ground Control Station enabling operators to plan missions, visualize maps, manage massive fleets, and orchestrate complex autonomous behaviors
  4. pioneering the integration of GenAI agents into our systems, allowing operators to direct autonomous assets using natural language interfaces
  5. build, ship, and see your code run on physical hardware deployed in the world
