Anduril is building autonomous decision-making software for uncrewed combat aircraft, signaling that a defense startup is moving from sensors and hardware into the AI that decides what a collaborative drone fleet does in contested airspace.
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Air Dominance team builds Mission Autonomy for Group 5 Collaborative Combat Aircraft, uncrewed platforms designed to fly alongside crewed and uncrewed aircraft, delivering affordable mass in contested environments. We build the Mission Autonomy, not the flight controls: the decision-maker for the entire mission, from startup through execution to shutdown. Many sensors in, one trusted decision out, explainable enough to certify. That's the problem you'd own.
ABOUT THE JOB
Staff Robotics Engineers lead the delivery of mission autonomy capability, acting as technical leads, senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors. This includes operational analysis and concept of employment modelling, autonomy architecture and implementation, mission and route planning, task allocation and multi-ship coordination, crewed-uncrewed teaming interfaces, contingency and health management, behaviour analysis and the assurance evidence that supports airworthiness, simulation and test infrastructure, and interfaces with lower-level vehicle autonomy and higher-level command and control. We expect Staff Robotics Engineers to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, driving the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of safe and effective mission autonomy on Anduril's autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.
