Anduril Industries is looking to solve the problem of transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology by developing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology for military systems. Specifically, the Tactical Reconnaissance and Strike division needs to develop a diverse set of robotic systems and a powerful robotics platform that can be tasked and viewed in real-time through a variety of interfaces, addressing the need for faster deployment of advanced technology in defense.
Requirements
- Proficiency with modern Android programming languages including Jetpack Compose, XML, Java, and Kotlin.
- Proficiency with modern backend/middleware programming languages such as C++, Rust, or Golang.
- Familiarity with client/server networking technologies and relationships such as TCP/UDP/Multicast, HTTP (REST), or protobuf/gRPC.
- Experience developing user interface software that does not require Internet access or has local/offline functionality.
- Exposure to build system and software lifecycle technologies such as CMake, Cargo, gradle, NixOS, CircleCI, Gitlab-CI, Docker, Python, Bash, and other developer operations tools.
- Exposure to technologies related to Ghost, Altius, or Bolt such as flight mechanics, UAV control, mesh networking, full motion video processing, and intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance sensors.
- Experience with 3D geospatial analysis and mapping software such as ArcGIS, Cesium, MapBox, or TAK.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, test, and deploy real-time, map-based user interfaces for displaying and interacting with sensor data and controlling the Ghost, Altius, and Bolt aircraft from an Android application through the Android Tactical Assault Kit’s (ATAK) plugin ecosystem to enable tactical control for end users.
- Define and implement APIs for network communications, real-time telemetry, vehicle configuration, sensor/payload control with full motion video streaming, manual controls, and autonomous tasking.
- Help define foundational software architectures, visual designs, and user experience/interaction workflows for multiple UAS, working directly with chief engineers, product designers, program managers, flight test engineers, and end-user customers to demonstrate capability and iterate on feedback.
- Work directly with Android frontend technologies like Jetpack Compose, high-performance backend technologies like Java/Kotlin/C++/Rust/Golang, and software product lifecycle technologies likes CMake/Cargo/gradle/NixOS/CircleCI/Docker.
- Work directly with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) SDK and the TAK Product Centers’ developer community (see tak.gov for more information).
- Work alongside engineers using multiple other full stack technologies like TypeScript/React, C++/Qt, and C/.NET.
- Test and evaluate your software at multiple levels of rigor using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets.
Other
- 5+ years of experience developing software for user interface applications, especially high-traffic, data-intensive, or map-based systems.
- Proven ability to empathize with users, to break down user needs into software features, and to balance the ideal user experience with practical engineering constraints.
- Willingness to provide on call support to various clients.
- Ability to travel up to 30% of the time, potentially including some international travel.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
