Senior Robotics Software Engineer, Sensor Fusion

Anduril Industries • Columbia, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

On the Air Dominance & Strike team, we build hardware and software that allows masses of autonomous aerial systems to think, coordinate, and act together. We are looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer who wants to work at the intersection of advanced math and physical hardware. You will write the onboard software that handles sensor fusion, target tracking, and state estimation, enabling our unmanned vehicles to perceive their environment and collaborate in real-time. This is a highly technical, high-impact individual contributor role.

Requirements

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Intimately familiar with writing application-level software that runs onboard physical systems (running Linux).
• Understand the fundamentals of localization, Kalman filtering, state estimation, and tracking.
• Write production-grade C++ or Rust, prototype quickly in Python, and appreciate modern build tools like Nix.
• Want to see your code fly. Prefer writing code and testing it on physical hardware over sitting in long meetings or writing endless theoretical papers (this role is 80% active development).

Nice To Haves

• Experience with electrical sensor integration (I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet).

Responsibilities

• Write algorithms (utilizing C++ and Rust) that ingest raw data from multiple onboard sensors (radar, optical, etc.) and fuse them into a single, highly accurate picture of the world.
• Help build the protocols that allow multiple physical robots to share tracking data, coordinate search patterns, and achieve "effects at mass" as a cohesive swarm.
• Write highly optimized, low-latency code that runs onboard Linux-based compute modules on multi-domain unmanned systems.
• Utilize Nix for deterministic, reproducible builds and deployment on hardware platforms, alongside C++, Rust, and Python.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
