Anduril Industries is seeking a Computer Vision Engineer to join its Space team in Costa Mesa, California. The Space team is dedicated to expanding AI-powered capabilities for Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners, developing fully integrated hardware and software systems including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads.
In this role, you will design and develop perception subsystems for spacecraft across all orbital regimes (LEO, MEO, GEO, Reentry, and RPOD). You will work on hardware sensors, advanced processing platforms, navigation algorithms, flight software implementation, and subsystem integration and test. The Computer Vision Engineer collaborates closely with Sensors, GNC, Avionics, Systems, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and Ground Software teams.
Key responsibilities include: proposing and prototyping innovative computer vision solutions using state-of-the-art techniques; developing and maintaining core libraries and runtime applications; integrating classical, geometric, and ML methods in computer vision; developing space vehicle CV software and hardware subsystems; creating modern, software-defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft operations; developing test plans and procedures for ground checkout, on-orbit commissioning, and operations; collaborating across teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality; coordinating with end-users and customers to translate needs into features; supporting challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows, and on-orbit operations; designing flight software, firmware, algorithms, and simulation products; developing space vehicle autonomy tools; executing test processes; defining automated fault detection and responses; and providing hardware-in-the-loop and monte-carlo simulation capabilities.
Required qualifications include an MS or PhD in Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Science, or Image Science with computer vision emphasis (or BS in related field); advanced professional experience developing and benchmarking ML algorithms on large-scale datasets; high proficiency in C++ development in Linux environments; experience in object detection, tracking, segmentation, or natural feature tracking; experience in visual odometry, SLAM, multi-view geometry, structure from motion, 3D geometry, or sensor fusion; ability to understand complex systems and detailed requirements; familiarity with terminal guidance, rendezvous proximity operations, orbital mechanics, and spacecraft GNC; and strong communication and organizational skills.
