Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Air & Missile Defense Radar team develops cutting-edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time. This role focuses on designing and implementing sophisticated tracking solutions that protect lives and critical assets, working in small, focused teams on production-grade systems deployed for mission-critical operations.
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. The role involves building and leveraging modeling and simulation environments to validate tracking performance, quantify system capabilities, and identify areas for improvement. You will 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, and communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, program leadership, and customers. You'll also participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness.
This is an opportunity to apply mathematics, software engineering, and signal processing to solve complex real-world problems in a mission-critical context.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2 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
