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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Maritime & Manoeuvre Dominance teams at Anduril UK develop operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together. We leverage existing Anduril platforms like Ghost, Altius, and Dive XL, in addition to bringing 3rd party platforms into Anduril\’s Lattice ecosystem. We develop Perception and Autonomy algorithms to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful robotics stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Software Engineer – Estimation & Tracking to join our growing team in London, UK. Anduril is developing software at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion. In this role you will be bringing together data from robots, cameras, radars, and many other sources into a single combined operational picture which enables both autonomous systems and end users to complete their missions. We develop cutting edge software for autonomous operation and situational awareness by having sensors and systems that work together to improve over time.

WHAT YOU\’LL DO

• Design and develop robust and efficient C++ & Rust software for real-time tracking and fusion.
• Conduct data analysis and performance evaluation to validate and improve tracking system capabilities.
