Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Scientific Software Engineer to join the Air & Missile Defense Radar team in Broomfield or Fort Collins, Colorado. This role focuses on developing cutting-edge tracking algorithms and high-performance software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time for military defense applications.
You will design and implement advanced multi-target tracking algorithms, develop real-time software systems that process radar sensor data for dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets, and build modeling and simulation environments to validate tracking performance. The work spans algorithm development, high-performance distributed systems, and signal processing applied to mission-critical defense systems.
Key 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
- Build and leverage modeling & simulation environments to validate tracking performance
- Collaborate directly with radar engineers and system architects to integrate 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, leadership, and customers
- Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests
Required qualifications include 8 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field. Strong programming skills in C++ and Python are essential, along with a solid foundation in mathematics (linear algebra, probability, statistics, differential equations) and software engineering fundamentals (design patterns, testing, version control, debugging).
