Anduril Industries is looking for Android Engineers to architect and build user interface applications for their robotic systems, enabling real-time control and data visualization for military applications.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience developing software for user interface applications, especially high-traffic, data-intensive, or map-based systems
- 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.
- 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.
- Experience with 3D geospatial analysis and mapping software such as ArcGIS, Cesium, MapBox, or TAK.
- 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.
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
- 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
- Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or another related technical degree.
- Experience working with the DoD where safety is paramount, regulations must be balanced, and operational environments are tightly controlled.
