Anduril Industries is a defense technology company developing AI-powered military systems. The Air & Missile Defense Radar team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design and implement advanced tracking algorithms and real-time software systems for detecting, tracking, and characterizing airborne threats.
You will work on a range of technical challenges: developing novel multi-target tracking algorithms, building high-performance distributed systems that process massive sensor data in milliseconds, and creating production-grade systems deployed to government and industry customers. The role spans algorithm design, software implementation, performance optimization, and cross-functional collaboration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for 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 and identify improvements
- 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
- Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness
This is a hands-on technical role focused on solving complex real-world problems in signal processing, estimation theory, and software engineering. You will work in small, focused teams and see your work deployed in mission-critical operations.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8 years of relevant experience and 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
