Senior Robotics Systems Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. 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.

Anduril’s Systems Engineering team focuses on Systems Integration and Integrated Verification and Validation. In less dense terms, our team runs war gaming exercises every six weeks to integrate and validate the latest advancements in Lattice, our Software Platform. In order to effectively operate these war games, Systems Engineering, in partnership with other teams, builds and maintains a suite of software that powers a fleet of surrogate test systems ranging from UAV, UUV and more. These systems are used to validate the latest capabilities being developed as a part of our Mission Autonomy and Command & Control platforms. If you are passionate about systems integration, verification and validation or simply love being at the intersection of building new Product in real world scenarios, Systems Engineering may be the team for you!

You will be responsible for designing and building interfaces between robot capabilities and our Lattice Platform. To be successful in this role, you should have experience in working with autonomous systems, working cross functionally between hardware, software and operational teams and value end to end system functionality.
