About the job
Anduril Industries stands at the forefront of defense technology, dedicated to revolutionizing U. S. and allied military capabilities through state-of-the-art technology. Our innovative approach integrates the expertise and business models of the 21st century’s leading companies into the defense sector, fundamentally altering how military systems are conceived, constructed, and marketed. Our advanced systems are driven by Lattice OS, an AI-enhanced operating system that transforms vast data streams into a dynamic, real-time 3D command and control center. As global strategic competition intensifies, Anduril is resolute in delivering pioneering autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technologies to military operations in a matter of months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Tactical Recon and Strike (TRS) team at Anduril specializes in developing small aerial drones (Group 1-3) alongside all necessary equipment for testing, deployment, and operation. Our team is instrumental in transforming concepts like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius into actionable systems. We collaborate closely with specialized teams to tackle some of the most challenging problems faced by our clients. We seek passionate software engineers, hardware engineers, roboticists, and mobile developers eager to build a robust robotics platform that can be managed and monitored in real-time via various interfaces.
The guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) team within TRS is tasked with the implementation, analysis, testing, and validation of GNC software solutions that support our autonomous drone fleet. This includes applications such as attitude and position control, waypoint guidance, and navigation in contested environments, including situations where communication and GPS signals are unavailable.
ABOUT THE JOB
This position entails the responsibility for developing and validating guidance and control laws, conducting hardware and software in-the-loop testing and analysis, and creating cutting-edge navigation solutions for our diverse range of drones within TRS.
