JOB TITLE: Senior Robotics Engineer - Undersea Dominance The Senior Robotics Engineer joins the Maritime Division to drive the delivery of vehicle perception and planning capabilities for autonomous underwater systems. This role involves end-to-end ownership of major subsystems, where you will design and implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems. You will build scalable sub-systems for sensor processing, tracking, motion planning, and health management while developing re-usable software components. The position requires proficiency in C++ and Python, along with expertise in computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, and machine learning. You will work with hardware including radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras to solve complex maritime domain problems. Key tasks include conducting thorough testing via simulation tools like Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine to validate algorithms for full-ocean-depth vessels.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems.
  • Develop scalable sub-systems for sensor processing, perception, tracking, and motion planning.
  • Create reusable software components for use across multiple Anduril product lines.
  • Apply computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance vehicle capabilities.
  • Conduct testing and validation of algorithms using simulations and real-world data analysis.
  • Act as the technical owner for systems, including roadmap management and requirements definition.
  • Define and implement robust validation and verification strategies for perception modules.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
  • Proficiency in C++ and/or Python software development.
  • Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, or machine learning.
  • Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system.
  • Capacity to act as a technical owner for a system, including stakeholder engagement, roadmap management, and team coordination.
  • Ability to mentor junior team members and collaborate with cross-functional teams to define validation and verification strategies.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with autonomous systems in the ground, air, maritime, or space domains (preferred).
  • Experience with simulation tools and frameworks such as Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine (preferred).
  • Knowledge of safety standards and certification processes for autonomous systems (preferred).
  • Familiarity with System Engineering concepts (preferred).
