Anduril Industries is seeking a Robotic Software Engineer to join the Omen team in Costa Mesa. Omen is an autonomous hover-to-cruise air vehicle (AAV) representing the first tail-sitter aircraft with a mass-production contract (50-unit order). The platform delivers runway-independent operations from ship decks, beaches, and remote locations, serving defense and civilian applications.
In this role, you will own mission autonomy systems and services deployed to customers, writing code to improve products and scale capabilities. You'll collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and perception. Responsibilities include creating and analyzing metrics for debugging and monitoring, triaging issues and coordinating root-cause analysis, and partnering with end-users to translate needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints. You'll travel up to 25% of the time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in real-world environments.
Core requirements include a strong engineering background (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics), 3+ years of professional experience with C++ or Rust, experience building software solutions with significant data processing and analysis, and the ability to quickly understand complex systems and established codebases. You must be willing to travel 25% and be eligible to obtain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include a strong background in Physics, Mathematics, or Motion Planning for modeling and simulation; experience developing and testing multi-agent autonomous systems in real-world environments; feature and algorithm development with behavior trees; software/hardware development for flight systems and safety-critical functionality; and experience with distributed communication networks and message standards.
