If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact, come join Anduril and build the future of defense.

SUMMARY/ABOUT THE JOB

As a Software Engineer working on Device Integrations, you write mission-critical code that bridges the gap between the real world and Lattice, Anduril’s Sensor Fusion Platform. Everything Lattice knows about the surrounding environment comes through your code. And every physical action that Lattice takes in the real world — turn a pan-tilt-unit or a propeller - is through your code.

Integration of a sensor into Lattice is much more than just “plumbing data.“ You take pride in processing literally every available bit of raw sensor data into low-latency, high-fidelity sensor measurements using advanced perception techniques on the latest low-power edge compute platforms. Further, since operation of Lattice is augmented with a distributed command and control layer, you thoughtfully architect daemons that support seamless control by both Humans and Human-directed agents.

As an Anduril engineer, you do not just work from the (awesome) office/lab. Lattice works in rugged environments and you will also occasionally work in rugged environments. Going into the field to experience real world sensor behavior and rapidly prototype solutions is often the best way to get reps on a problem and deliver results in hours instead of months.

You are well-prepared for this role if you're excited to write C++ code in a production environment and experience the joys (and frustrations) of manipulating directly attached sensors. Your attention to detail is critical to your success; you will quickly become an expert on in-the-weeds idiosyncrasies of device APIs and sensor behavior. You own your integration code from early prototype through deployment in a way that doesn't mean you're the only one that can ever own it. Finally, your contributions to internal tools and frameworks make existing and future integrations even better. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Process raw device data into meaningful sensor measurements
• Design and implement sensor daemons that support operation by both human and autonomous planning agents
• Generate health alerts from device failures and deviations in expected performance
• Build systems and tools that make existing and future sensor integrations better
• Collaborate with all involved teams (perception, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, operations) over the full life cycle of sensors

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior engineering internship experience, along with academic pursuits & studies in the areas of: Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• Familiarity with algorithms, data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.
• Proficiency in a variety of programming languages such as Go, Java, C++, Python, JavaScript, etc.
• A desire to work on software and applications that have real-world impact.

Anduril is an equal-opportunity employer, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. If you are someone passionate to work on problems that matter, we’d love to hear from you!

U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.
