Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Discovery team at Anduril is at the forefront of incubating and maturing high-potential, software-defined, AI-native offerings that meet the toughest, newest challenges across hardware, software, space, and cyber domains. We're the architects of mission autonomy and mesh networking, delivering scalable hardware solutions that meet some of the most urgent national security needs. By working hand-in-hand with elite teams in Perception, AI, Motion Planning, Hardware, Test Engineering, Space, Networking, and Vehicle hardware, we craft cutting-edge, end-to-end systems that redefine mission success.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Software Engineer in the Discovery team, you will tackle a diverse range of challenges in networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more. Your work will ensure seamless integration of Anduril products to achieve critical outcomes. You will work on a fast paced team and have opportunities to watch your creations operate in fielded deployment environments. Above all, Software Engineers at Anduril must embody a “Whatever It Takes” mindset—executing tasks expediently, scalably, and pragmatically while prioritizing the mission. You will make sound engineering decisions to deliver high-quality outcomes on time. In addition to building the software, you will work directly with customers to deploy it.
