Software Engineer, Robotics Tracking and Fusion

About the Role

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. We are seeking highly talented technologists to join our mission and redefine the future of defense technology, with a focus on target tracking, state estimation, and situational awareness.

About the Team

Our Software Engineers specialize in solving complex, real-world problems through cutting-edge algorithms and intelligent software integrations. We operate in small, innovative teams, pushing the boundaries of what's possible to deliver advanced technologies with mission-critical applications. Our success is measured by the real-world impact of our deployed solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
• Prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile, iterative development environments.
• Develop high-performance software for real-time systems, including tactical implementations, simulation environments, and decision support tools.
• Design and implement robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems to derive actionable insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
• Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations, innovative modeling tools, and rigorous statistical techniques.
• Drive customer success by customizing algorithms and software for mission-critical use cases, including real-time tracking and sensor fusion.
• Integrate tracking and estimation technologies into the broader software development lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.
• Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling.
• Programming expertise in C/C++, Python, and Matlab.
• Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques (e.g., Kalman filters, particle filters, JPDA, MHT, PHD filters).
• Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics: linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
• Knowledge of signal processing techniques for interpreting diverse sensor data (e.g., radar, lidar, EO/IR).
• Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and efficient handling of large-scale sensor data.
• Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition (e.g., clustering, classification, anomaly detection).
• Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles, from prototyping to optimizing production systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
