Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming military capabilities through advanced autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking. The company's Lattice OS is an AI-powered operating system that converts thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers.
Anduril Australia is developing unmanned maritime and air domain systems leveraging unsupervised autonomy for long-endurance, multi-mission capability. The Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) Program and related projects require a Senior Modelling and Simulation Engineer to support rapid design, delivery, support, and evolution of next-generation autonomous vehicles throughout their product lifecycle.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the design, development, integration, and support of next-generation modeling and simulation architecture enabling continuous delivery of capabilities orders of magnitude faster than competitors
- Serve as the subject matter expert for engineering-level simulation of Anduril platforms, including physical environment interaction and platform, system, subsystem, component, and device-level models
- Simulate solutions for Guidance, Navigation and Control algorithms and Vehicle Management System component implementations
- Collaborate with vendors and customers to integrate external models within the Anduril engineering simulation architecture
- Create models and test/simulation fixtures operating with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop configurations
- Contribute to design and development of other software systems and subsystems
- Design and implement development processes for initial delivery and subsequent iteration of robotic software, including full lifecycle testing
- Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment
- Work as a member of a multi-disciplinary software team, mentoring Software Engineers from diverse backgrounds
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant field (or equivalent experience)
- Extensive experience with platform physics-based modelling and simulation
- Experience writing C, C++, or Python
- Systems and/or application programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and optimization
- Capacity to work holistically on software-enabled capabilities across the software stack and through lifecycle (design, implementation, operation, sustainment)
- Capacity to act as technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team coordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution
- Ability to learn and grow individually while mentoring junior team members effectively and building team cohesion
- Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Senior role experience in simulation and delivery of a robotic system, particularly in air, maritime, or space domains
- Experience with flight dynamics, platform physics, and control
- Experience with MATLAB and Simulink
- Familiarity with communications buses and protocols (CAN, CANFD, ARINC-825, ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, Ethernet)
- Experience within product delivery lifecycle including manufacturing, system acceptance, deployment, and sustainment
- Familiarity with System Engineering concepts
- Interest in growing into Senior Software Engineer, Principal Software Engineer, or Engineering Manager roles
- Interest in Tech-Lead-Manager role with line management responsibility
