About the role

Senior role focused on target tracking, state estimation, and sensor fusion within Anduril’s defense technology platforms, including real-time systems, high-performance algorithms, and integration into broader software lifecycles.

Responsibilities

  • Define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
  • Prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile, iterative development environments.
  • Develop high-performance software for real-time systems, ranging from tactical implementations to simulation environments and decision support tools.
  • Design and implement robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that enable actionable insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
  • Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations, innovative modeling tools, and rigorous statistical techniques to validate the benefits of our technology.
  • Drive customer success by customizing algorithms and software for mission-critical use cases, including real-time tracking and sensor fusion.
  • Integrate tracking and estimation technologies into the broader software development lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.
  • Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders, including colleagues and end-users.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling with programming expertise in C/C++, Python, and Matlab.
  • Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques, such as Kalman filters, particle filters, and multi-target tracking algorithms (e.g., JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters).
  • Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
  • Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
  • Knowledge of signal processing techniques for interpreting diverse sensor data (e.g., radar, lidar, EO/IR).
  • Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and the efficient handling of large-scale sensor data.
  • Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection techniques.
  • Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles, from prototyping to optimizing production systems.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
