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.
The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together. We leverage existing Anduril drone platforms like Ghost or Altius, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril’s Lattice ecosystem.
We develop Perception and Autonomy algorithms to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful robotics stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop and evaluate machine learning and computer vision techniques for object detection and tracking.
- Deploy these approaches to operational settings, by moving features along a release process that starts in simulation and ends running in an embedded and operational context.
- Evaluate and characterize cameras and gimbals to inform autonomy system constraints and performance expectations.
- Design experiments, data collection efforts, and curate training/evaluation sets to develop insights both for internal Anduril purposes as well as customers, deciding the features and implementing them.
- Drive the flight testing and test configuration for evaluating the implemented features against real data on target hardware for validating technical approaches.
- Work closely with vendors and government stakeholders as we seek to advance the art of possible for large drone teams.
