- Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras
- Demonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, machine learning
- Minimum of 10 years experience with technical leadership and software development
- Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system
- Capacity to act as the technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolution
- Ability to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies for perception and planning modules
Responsibilities
- Lead design and implementation of perception and planning algorithms into vehicle system software to ensure safe navigation and effective operation of autonomous vehicles
- Utilize advanced techniques in computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance perception and planning capabilities of Anduril vehicles
- Develop software that runs on- and off- platform, using a variety of technologies
- Contribute to the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of robotic software, including full lifecycle testing
- Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to integrate perception and planning technologies into vehicle architectures
- Conduct thorough testing and validation of perception and planning algorithms through simulation and real-world experiments
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems engineers, to ensure effective system integration and testing
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
- Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- Experience with autonomous systems in the air, maritime or space domains
- Experience with simulation tools and frameworks, such as Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine, for algorithm validation and testing
