Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming military capabilities through advanced autonomous systems and AI. The Maritime Division is building next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles and platforms including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry systems. These products deliver billion-dollar contract value while operating as Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) platforms.
As a Robotics Engineer, you will own the delivery of vehicle perception and planning capabilities integrated into autonomous maritime platforms. Your responsibilities span systems analysis, sensor selection and integration, perception architecture, motion planning, health management, behavior analysis, simulation, and test infrastructure. You will demonstrate end-to-end ownership of projects, contributing to the rapid design, delivery, and evolution of next-generation autonomous platforms throughout their product lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include: implementing safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems; developing scalable subsystems for sensor processing, perception, tracking, motion planning, and anomaly detection; contributing to reusable software components across Anduril product lines; applying computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning techniques; conducting thorough testing and validation through simulation and real-world experiments; collaborating with cross-functional teams (software, mechanical, systems engineers); and traveling up to 20% to co-locate with end-users and teams.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent; proficiency in C++ and/or Python; familiarity with autonomous vehicle sensors (radar, sonar, LIDAR, cameras); demonstrated knowledge of computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, or machine learning; senior-level experience in perception or planning for robotic systems; capacity to act as technical owner including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, design, implementation, and sustainment; ability to define and implement validation/verification strategies; mentoring capability for junior team members; and eligibility for Australian Government Negative Vetting 2 (NV2) security clearance.
Preferred: experience with autonomous systems in ground, air, maritime, or space domains; simulation tools (Gazebo, Unity, Unreal Engine); knowledge of safety standards and certification processes.
