SUMMARY/ABOUT THE JOB
The Perception team at Anduril is developing software at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion. We apply deep learning techniques to multi-spectral sensor inputs for autonomous detection and classification. Lattice Ghost UAS, Sentry Tower, and other autonomous platforms work in tandem to fuse these detections using Bayesian inference. Our engineers also apply classical computer vision techniques to do everything from perceiving environmental features for pose estimation to GPS-denied navigation. Perception engineers at Anduril develop cutting edge software for autonomous operation and situational awareness.
