Scientific Software Engineer

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Broomfield, CO, Fort Collins, CO · Mission Systems : Battlespace Awareness Engineering

Scientific Software Engineer for Anduril's Air & Missile Defense Radar team, focusing on designing and implementing advanced tracking algorithms and high-performance real-time software systems for detecting and tracking airborne threats. The role involves full-cycle development from algorithm design to integration into end-to-end defense systems, with an emphasis on performance-critical environments and customer-facing demonstrations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques
  2. Develop high-performance, real-time software systems that process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets
  3. Build and leverage modeling & simulation environments to validate tracking performance, quantify system capabilities, and identify areas for improvement
  4. Collaborate directly with radar engineers and system architects to integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems
  5. Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where milliseconds matter
