Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Perception
Columbia, IN - USA
Job Summary
ABOUT THE TEAM
Andurils Lattice software platform integrates many sensors into a single cohesive view of the battlefield providing the context our users need to make better decisions faster. Perception Engineers on Andurils Frontier AI team build edge-compatible systems that power these views transforming complex multi-sensor inputs into accurate actionable understanding of the world. We integrate ambitious machine learning and computer vision algorithms directly into the Lattice platform to increase the fidelity accuracy and usefulness of battlefield awareness. These systems improve the experience of Andurils existing customers aid in the scaling of our business to new customers use-cases and business lines and they create high-quality snapshots of the world that autonomous and agentic systems can operate on top of.
