About the role

Senior software engineer focused on modeling, simulation, and control systems for GNC and trajectory prediction within Anduril’s Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute hands-on to a small, collaborative team within the Command and Control Software organization, applying your growing expertise in modeling, simulation, and control systems.
  • Help develop computationally efficient high-fidelity models of vehicle dynamics, interceptor performance, and weapon system effectiveness to support real-time threat prediction and battle management decisions.
  • Implement resource models and control systems that inform the allocation and tasking of assets against dynamic, contested threats.
  • Build physics-based simulations and mission engineering tools that validate model behavior across diverse operational scenarios.
  • Help develop trajectory prediction and state estimation capabilities to characterize how threats and friendly assets will move and behave over time.
  • Support customer success by tailoring models and simulations for mission-critical use cases, including interceptor performance and threat prediction.
  • Integrate modeling and simulation technologies into the broader command and control software stack, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.
  • Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders, including colleagues, operators, and end-users.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in algorithm design, software development, and mathematical modeling with programming expertise in Python and MATLAB (C/C++ a plus).
  • Demonstrated experience in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC); trajectory prediction and state estimation; and/or the development of predictive models for vehicle dynamics and weapon system effectiveness (e.g., 6-DoF simulation, intercept analysis).
  • Exposure to resource modeling and control systems as applied to asset tasking and allocation in command and control environments.
  • Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, and statistics, as applied to physics-based modeling and simulation.
  • Exposure to mission engineering, simulation, and modeling, translating operational requirements into validated technical models.
  • Familiarity with path planning and graph search algorithms (e.g., A*, D* Lite) sufficient to collaborate closely with the team's robotics engineers.
  • Exposure to machine learning as applied to planning and decision-making, including reinforcement learning, learned heuristics, and behavior prediction.
  • Ability to write robust, concurrent code for modeling and prediction under uncertainty in complex, dynamic, contested environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles, from prototyping to optimizing production systems.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
