Software Engineer, Robotics Tracking and Fusion

About the Role

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company dedicated to transforming military capabilities through advanced technology. Our Software Engineers specialize in solving complex, real-world problems by developing 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 goal is to achieve groundbreaking results in target tracking, state estimation, and situational awareness.

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, ranging from tactical implementations to simulation environments and decision support tools.
• Design and implement robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems for 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, such as Kalman filters, particle filters, and multi-target tracking algorithms (e.g., JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters).
• Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including 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 the efficient handling of large-scale sensor data.
• Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection techniques.
• 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.

Transcripts are requested as part of the early application process to assess academic background and coursework supporting critical skills.
