Anduril Industries is a defense technology company developing advanced military systems powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system for real-time command and control. The Air & Missile Defense Radar team develops cutting-edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time.
In this role, you will design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques. You'll develop high-performance, real-time software systems that process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets. Your work will span the full spectrum—from novel algorithm development to building distributed systems that process massive amounts of sensor data in milliseconds.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for air and missile defense applications
- Develop high-performance, real-time software systems for radar sensor data processing
- 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, program leadership, and customers
- Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment
You will work in small, focused teams deploying production-grade systems that government and industry customers depend on for mission-critical operations. This is not academic research—your work directly impacts real-world defense capabilities.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5 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
