About the role

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h3>ABOUT THE TEAM</h3>

<p>The Payload Integrations team owns everything that connects to the vehicle beyond the base platform. This includes gimbals and EO/IR sensors, arming and fuzing devices, weapons payloads, radios, and other mission hardware. We build the software and interfaces that enable these payloads to reliably run on the vehicle. Nearly every customer program needs a new or modified payload, which makes this team a critical contributor to nearly everything we ship. Our work goes from the lab bench to hardware-in-the-loop testing to live flight, and it has to work in a variety of demanding operational environments.</p>

<h3>ABOUT THE JOB</h3>

<p>This position is on the TRS Core Infrastructure team and will be focused on building the infrastructure to field TRS Products such as Altius, Ghost, Bolt and Anvil. Our charter is to provide the foundation for teams across Anduril to deploy cutting edge TRS autonomy and to tie it all together into an easy-to-use product. The solutions that you will create address the current needs of our customers and will have immediate impact towards the success of our products.</p>

<li>Work directly with frontend technologies like TypeScript/React/PySide, high-performance backend technologies like Golang/Python/Rust, and software product lifecycle technologies like NixOS/CircleCI/Docker.</li>

<li>Interface with engineers developing every aspect of the system from low-level Linux drivers to cutting edge autonomy and streamlined user interfaces.</li>

<li>Test and evaluate your software at multiple levels of rigor using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets.</li>

</ul>

<h3>REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS</h3>

<ul>

<li>Strong experience with Rust and/or C++, plus working proficiency in Python.</li>

<li>Have experience working with customers to deliver novel software capabilities</li>

<li>Have built user interfaces using popular frontend frameworks (React, PySide, etc)</li>

<li>Are passionate about user experience and always strive to provide the most streamlined product</li>

<li>Have an intuition for finding solutions to complex problems that involve multiple first and third party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more)</li>

<li>Enjoy collaborating with team members and partners in the autonomy domain, and building technologies and processes which enable users to safely and rapidly develop and deploy autonomous systems at scale</li>

<li>Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance</li>
