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 (AUVs) and related platforms including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry, executing billion-dollar contracts while scaling Robot-as-a-Service operations.
As a Robotics Engineer, you will own end-to-end delivery of vehicle perception and planning capabilities integrated into production systems. Your responsibilities span systems analysis, sensor selection and integration, perception architecture, motion planning, health management, behavior analysis, simulation, and test infrastructure. You'll demonstrate technical ownership of projects across the full product lifecycle—from rapid architecting and design through delivery, support, and evolution.
Key responsibilities include: implementing safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems balancing multi-stakeholder constraints; building scalable subsystems for sensor processing, perception, tracking, motion planning, anomaly detection, and testing; contributing reusable software components across Anduril product lines; applying computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance vehicle capabilities; conducting thorough testing and validation through simulation and real-world experiments; collaborating with software, mechanical, and systems engineers on integration; and traveling up to 20% to co-locate with end-users and teams.
Required: Bachelor's 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 delivering a robotic system in a perception or planning role; capacity to act as technical owner with stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, and team coordination; ability to define and implement robust validation strategies; mentoring capability; and eligibility for Australian Government Negative Vetting 2 security clearance.
