Robotics Engineer

Andurils Maritime Division has assembled a diverse team of experts in software robotics artificial intelligence sensor fusion and data analysis to create software and hardware solutions that radically evolve the capabilities of our customers. We are fielding the next generation of autonomous systems to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of maritime operations. Anduril has brought to market a unique ultra-long-range full-ocean-depth underwater vessel platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from small to extra-large vehicle sizes. Today Anduril is executing on billion-dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) AUV operations.

We are seeking to sustain our early successes with deep investment in an expanded product portfolio. These products including Dive-XL Dive-LD Copperhead Seabed Sentry and other unannounced systems will deliver a coherent system-of-systems enabling the end-to-end conduct of a variety of autonomous missions in the maritime domain. If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact and working on systems that directly contribute to achieving national strategic priorities we want you to join Andurils Maritime Division and help us build the future of defense capability.

Robotics Engineers contribute to delivery of vehicle perception and planning capability integrated in to our products. This includes systems analysis sensor selection and integration perception architecture and implementation motion planning health management behaviour analysis simulation and test infrastructure and interfaces with lower- and higher-level systems. We expect Robotics Engineers to demonstrate end-to-end ownership of their projects contributing as a member of a team to the rapid architecting design delivery support and evolution of next generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.
