Anduril Industries is a defense technology company developing advanced military systems powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system for real-time command and control. The Air & Missile Defense Radar team is seeking a Senior Algorithm Developer to design and implement cutting-edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time.
You will work in a small, focused team developing sophisticated tracking solutions that protect lives and critical assets. Your responsibilities include:
• Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques
• Develop high-performance, real-time software systems that process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets
• Build and leverage modeling & simulation environments to validate tracking performance, quantify system capabilities, and identify areas for improvement
• Collaborate directly with radar engineers and system architects to integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems
• Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where milliseconds matter
• Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, program leadership, and customers to drive informed decisions
• Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness
This role emphasizes deploying production-grade systems that government and industry customers depend on for mission-critical operations, combining mathematics, software engineering, and signal processing to solve complex real-world problems.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 8 years of relevant experience & Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
• Solid foundation in mathematics: linear algebra, probability, statistics, and/or differential equations
• Understanding of software engineering fundamentals: design patterns, testing, version control, and debugging
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Experience with tracking, estimation, or filtering algorithms (Kalman filters, particle filters, multiple hypothesis tracking, etc.)
• Background in controls, estimation theory, or digital signal processing
• Familiarity with radar systems or sensor fusion
• Experience with high-performance computing (multithreading, GPU acceleration, distributed systems)
• Knowledge of machine learning techniques for classification, clustering, or data association
• Proficiency with database technologies (SQL, NoSQL, time-series databases)
• Experience with web development technologies (JavaScript, React, Node.js) for building visualization and analysis tools
• Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, or custom frameworks)
• Experience working in agile development environments
• Active U.S. Top Secret SCI clearance
