Senior Software Engineer - Vehicle Management System

Anduril is fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of seabed exploration. Anduril has brought to the market a unique, ultra-long-range, full-ocean-depth platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from "large" to "extra-large" vehicle sizes. Today, Anduril is executing on multi-million-dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) AUV operations.

These platforms, including but not limited to, our Extra Large and Large Displacement Un-crewed Undersea Vehicles (Dive-XL and Dive-LD respectively), require a Senior Software Engineer with deep robotics experience to architect and deliver critical systems and sub-systems. The Senior Software Engineer strives to leverage their experience with Vehicle Management Systems to rapidly architect, design, deliver, support, and evolve next generation autonomous vehicles through the entire product life-cycle.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Design and implement trusted, safety critical Vehicle Management Systems that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
• Design and implement scalable vehicle sub-systems including sensor processing, state estimation, contingency management, actuation, payload interfaces, and mission systems interfaces.
• Develop real-time embedded software using an RTOS.
• Develop device drivers and interfaces to a variety of sensors and actuators.
• Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software-and hardware-in-the-loop.
• Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
