If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact, come join Anduril and build the future of defense.
At Anduril we are developing aerial, aquatic, and ground-based robotic systems. Lattice Ghost UAS, Sentry Tower and our other platforms stream video over unreliable networks from remote locations.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
The role of our video pipeline engineers is to develop real-time and asynchronous video feeds from remote deployments to web, virtual reality clients, computer vision front-end and back-end pipelines. Video pipeline engineers help design the ISR payloads for drones and the camera systems used in our other existing and future products. They also have some computer vision overlap with e.g. object detection. Extensive prior experience with relevant video technologies is not required for this role and is expected to be learned on the job.
