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.

SUMMARY

As a Mission Autonomy Project Engineer, you will manage the engineering development, integration, and cross-functional process execution of Anduril products. These projects will be diverse in nature, span hardware and software technologies, and require you to be organized and flexible to adapt to changing situations. On one project, you may be working to clarify how technical requirements can be met through engineering development of new products, including the plan, scope, and work required. In another situation, you may be helping to execute vital product development processes that span multiple technical and non-technical functions within Anduril. During all this, you must be able to successfully work with a wide variety of stakeholders, communicate plans clearly to all parties, and coordinate across teams to achieve the desired end state.

You will play a critical role in shaping the future of defense technology. Your focus on autonomy will empower users to execute multifaceted missions with precision and efficiency. Join us in our mission to transform military capabilities with your expertise in testing and autonomy.
