Anduril Industries is looking to solve the business and technical problem of developing and fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for challenging seabed exploration tasks, requiring advanced GNC software development.
Requirements
- Extensive experience (at least 6 years) with development of high assurance safety critical GNC software, including cascading controls, adaptive controls, and transfer functions
- Systems programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency and optimization
- Extensive experience with MATLAB and Simulink.
- Familiarity with communications busses and protocols such as CAN, CANFD, ARINC-825, ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, Ethernet, etc
- Experience writing C and/or C++
- Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems
- Experience with RTOS
Responsibilities
- Lead architecture selection, design and implementation for Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) sub-systems and control schemes for autonomous robotic platforms
- Integrate technology from best-in-class third-party vendors, local research and development partners, and Anduril’s internal product teams
- Contribute to the design and development of other embedded sub-systems.
- Develop real-time embedded software using a RTOS
- Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop
- Develop modeling and simulation capabilities that capture appropriate data during testing so that models can be updated and validated
- Analyze test data captured from control systems, subsystems, and other test instrumentation to verify vehicle performance, evaluate GNC algorithm and controller behavior, or debug incidents
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
- Work as a member of a multi-disciplinary team, including as a mentor for Software and Hardware Engineers from differing backgrounds
- Experience working with and testing electrical and mechanical systems
- Experience with DO-178 or similar certifications
