Robotics Software Engineer, Sensor Integration

About the Role

Anduril Industries is seeking a Robotics Software Engineer with expertise in C++ and Rust to join their team. This role focuses on designing, developing, and optimizing software solutions for autonomous robotic systems, with an emphasis on sensor integration, networking, and multi-agent coordination. The engineer will work on interdisciplinary challenges, collaborate across teams, and deploy critical software in real-world environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop mission-critical software for networking, sensor integration, and autonomy across robotic platforms.
• Integrate a variety of sensors (e.g., cameras, LiDAR, IMUs) for perception, localization, and navigation.
• Design and optimize distributed communication networks and message-passing frameworks for multi-robot coordination.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and manufacturing teams for seamless software integration.
• Test, debug, and deploy systems in operational environments, requiring up to 25% travel.
• Contribute to the entire software lifecycle: prototyping, implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Optimize system performance, including latency, battery consumption, and resource utilization.
• Analyze and resolve issues in deployed systems.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• C++ and Rust proficiency.
• Experience with distributed communication networks, protocols, and message standards.
• Proven ability to integrate sensors (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, IMUs) into robotics systems.
• Ability to contribute to complex systems and established codebases.
• Willingness to travel up to 25%.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience developing production-grade software in C++ and/or Rust.
• Passion for building software that directly influences mission-critical outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with motion planning, perception, localization, and multi-agent coordination.
• Proficiency in designing Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation environments.
• Experience with embedded systems and physical devices.
• Familiarity with performance metrics and optimization techniques for robotics systems.
• Additional programming skills in Python.
• Experience with real-time operating systems.
• Knowledge of AI/ML applications in robotics.
• Active or prior U.S. Secret clearance is a plus.
