Mission Software Engineer, Air Vehicle Autonomy, Genswe

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

Software Engineer role focused on developing aerial and multi-domain robotic systems, including autonomy software stacks with computer vision, motion planning, and multi-agent systems. The role involves taking products from concept to deployment in real-world environments for defense applications.

What you'd actually do

  1. The team is responsible for taking products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile) from concept to product.
  2. The team also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Anduril’s premier software platform that enables masses of Fury, Barracuda, and other first and third party robots to collaborate across various missions.
  3. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Motion Planning, Hardware, and Test Engineering to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers.
  4. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful autonomy software stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.
