About the role

Anduril Industries is seeking a Software Engineer to contribute to target tracking, state estimation, and sensor fusion within robotics and defense systems. The role focuses on real-time, high-performance software, algorithm development, and integration of tracking and estimation technologies 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 for noisy or incomplete sensor data.
  • - Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations and rigorous statistical techniques.
  • - 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 to testing and optimization.
  • - Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders 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 (Kalman filters, particle filters, JPDA, MHT, PHD).
  • - Experience in state estimation, Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation.
  • - Solid understanding of applied mathematics (linear algebra, optimization, probability, stochastic processes).
  • - Knowledge of signal processing for radar, lidar, EO/IR.
  • - Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and handling large-scale sensor data.
  • - Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition (clustering, classification, anomaly detection).
  • - Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls in complex signal environments.
  • - Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles from prototyping to production.
  • - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
