Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to join the Maneuver Dominance team, which develops multi-asset autonomy systems for military applications. The role focuses on designing and implementing behavior trees and state machines that orchestrate teams of autonomous robots, enabling seamless coordination across Anduril platforms like Ghost and Altius drones.
Key responsibilities include developing high-level robotic behavior control software, writing integrations between autonomy stacks and robotic peripherals (sensors, flight controllers, radios), and building software that coordinates teams of autonomous platforms to achieve complex mission outcomes. You will solve problems spanning networking, autonomy, systems integration, and robotics while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs. The role requires cross-functional collaboration with autonomy, hardware, systems, and platform teams, plus travel up to 25% for field testing and deployment in operational environments.
Required qualifications include a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics. You must have 6+ years of hands-on production-grade software development in C++ and/or Rust, with proven experience designing behavior trees, state machines, or comparable frameworks. Strong systems-level thinking, ability to navigate complex codebases, and experience writing software integrations between autonomy stacks and robotic peripherals are essential. A "Whatever It Takes" mindset—executing expeditiously while keeping mission impact top-of-mind—is critical. US security clearance eligibility is required.
Preferred qualifications include experience with motion planning, perception, localization, multi-agent coordination, and familiarity with open-source behavior frameworks. This is an opportunity to build mission-critical software that directly influences real-world military capabilities.
