Staff Software Engineer

About the team

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 core products including Dive-XL Dive-LD Copperhead Seabed Sentry and other unannounced systems form the backbone of the Maritime portfolio. The core remit of this team is to architect a true system-of-systems that combines and orchestrates disparate sensors and platforms to deliver a coherent effect enabling the end-to-end execution 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.
