Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in estimation and filtering to join their defense technology team. You will define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging deep subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities.
Key responsibilities include prototyping and deploying state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile development environments. You will develop high-performance software for real-time systems spanning tactical implementations, simulation environments, and decision support tools. The role requires designing and implementing robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that extract actionable insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
You will analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations and rigorous statistical techniques to validate technology benefits. A critical aspect involves driving customer success by customizing algorithms and software for mission-critical use cases, including real-time tracking and sensor fusion. You'll integrate tracking and estimation technologies into the broader software development lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and optimization, while translating technical progress into clear insights for diverse stakeholders.
Required qualifications include proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling with expertise in C/C++, Python, and Matlab. Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques (Kalman filters, particle filters, JPDA, MHT, PHD filters) and state estimation (Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, recursive estimation) is essential. You must have solid understanding of applied mathematics (linear algebra, optimization, probability, stochastic processes) and signal processing for diverse sensor data (radar, lidar, EO/IR). Experience with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and machine learning applied to target tracking is required. Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
