Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in estimation and filtering to join their defense technology team in Washington, DC. You will define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging deep subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation to deliver mission-critical capabilities.
In this role, you will prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile development environments. You'll develop high-performance software for real-time systems spanning tactical implementations, simulation environments, and decision support tools. Your work will focus on designing and implementing robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that extract actionable insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
Key responsibilities include analyzing system performance using high-fidelity simulations and rigorous statistical techniques, driving customer success by customizing algorithms for mission-critical use cases, and integrating tracking and estimation technologies into the broader software development lifecycle. You will translate technical progress into clear insights for diverse stakeholders.
Required qualifications include proficiency in algorithm design and software development with expertise in C/C++, Python, and Matlab. You must have strong knowledge of target tracking techniques (Kalman filters, particle filters, JPDA, MHT, PHD filters) and state estimation including Bayesian filtering and sensor fusion. Solid understanding of applied mathematics (linear algebra, optimization, probability, stochastic processes) and signal processing for radar, lidar, and EO/IR data is essential. Experience with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, machine learning applied to tracking and recognition, and robust systems engineering is required. You must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
