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 Sentry Tower Software team is responsible for developing robotic systems that provide force protection capabilities, monitoring the perimeter of secure areas, land or sea, for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels. We live in a world where security officers are increasingly overwhelmed by sensor data feeds. Our products leverage advanced sensor fusion and autonomy to seamlessly render activity in the environment to Lattice's common operating picture.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine. In this role you will be responsible for building and maintaining software for current and next generation Sentry Tower systems. This will include interacting with stakeholders like Anduril's business lines of Air Defense and Counter Intrusion all the way from internal engineering customers to the people in the field. Prioritizing what is important to create an excellent experience for them in the long run. If you are someone who is driven by a “Whatever It Takes” mindset - then this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own feature development and rollout for our products - recent examples include: building a Software-in-the-Loop simulator for our Tower product, writing an autofocus control system for cameras, creating a distributed over IPC coordinate frame library, redesigning the Pan-Tilt controls to accurately move heavy loads
• Design, evaluate, and implement sensor integrations that support operation by both human and autonomous planning agents
• Be responsible for service ownership, ensuring functionality, reliability, and alignment with customer objectives
• Submit well-documented, tested pull requests addressing TSW's critical issues

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Proficiency in full robotics system stack, from integrating sensor technology to robotic movement actuation. Partial stack is okay.
• 4+ years working with Rust or C++.
• Solid grasp of networking principles, including CAN and Ethernet protocols, along with expertise in hardware interfacing, diagnostic tools (e.g., Wireshark, CANoe), and cybersecurity principles as they pertain to secure and reliable sensor data transmission.
• Demonstrated experience in designing and building software solutions for high-volume data processing and sophisticated sensor data analysis.
• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Python, Rust, and/or Go experience
• Experience with Controls - actuation and motion control algorithms
