Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in sensor fusion to join a small, high-impact team developing state-of-the-art defense technology. This role combines hands-on technical work with mentorship and technical leadership responsibilities.
You will help shape the technical direction of the sensor fusion team while remaining deeply engaged in design, implementation, and code review. Key responsibilities include mentoring junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming and technical guidance, writing production-quality C++ and Python for mission-critical systems, and prototyping advanced software solutions in an agile environment. You'll implement high-performance software spanning tactical systems to web applications, use modeling and simulation to validate technology benefits, and drive technical interchange with customers and stakeholders.
The role requires 8+ years of software engineering experience and a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent). You must have demonstrated experience mentoring engineers while contributing as a hands-on individual contributor, and strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python. Direct experience in air and missile defense domains is essential—including multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, threat classification, kill chain development, or command-and-control systems (IBCS, Patriot, Aegis, or similar).
Required technical expertise spans software engineering (design, algorithm implementation, testing, optimization), machine learning (supervised/unsupervised learning, clustering, classification), applied mathematics (differential equations, linear algebra, optimization, statistics), and engineering fundamentals (controls, estimation theory, digital signal processing). You must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include experience leading small technical teams while remaining a top contributor, a track record of growing engineers through mentorship, and experience with asynchronous/parallel/GPU programming and real-world tactical deployment.
