Senior Software Engineer, Robotics Data Foundation (Cloud)
Boston, MA - USA
Job Summary
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Robotics Data Foundation (RDF) team builds Andurils vehicle telemetry backbone from onboard systems to cloud. This includes onboard data recording and backhaul ingestion into our cloud data platform normalizing data across flight controllers and vehicle management systems mission systems and sensor payloads and making it available to a range of downstream 1st and 3rd-party analysis tools. Our vehicle telemetry platform powers software and hardware development T&E workflows production incident response and contractual customer reporting today and underpins new product development fleet-wide analysis simulation and machine learning workflows. Anduril sits on the worlds largest defense robotics data asset and the RDF team is working to operationalize that across the board.
ABOUT THE JOB
As an engineer on the Robotics Data Foundation team you will design and build the Anduril-wide cloud systems that host our ingestion pipelines storage systems and tooling that carry vehicle telemetry from onboard systems to the cloud and make it discoverable searchable and analyzable across the fleet. Youll normalize data across flight controllers vehicle management systems mission systems and sensor payloads and expose it to downstream 1st- and 3rd-party analysis tools and build infrastructure that supports large-scale batch ingestion of recorded telemetry as well as low-latency streaming.
- Build reliable and performant cloud data systems: Our software ingests high volumes of telemetry across Anduril so the systems we ship must be high-availability and stable when processing high-scale vehicle telemetry.
- Design extensible telemetry and data architectures: Robotics teams have diverse data sources that are often unique to a platform or sensor. Our architecture must enable easy integration of bespoke data sources into our standardized ingestion framework.
- Enable data-driven engineering in real-time: We own the software that delivers live telemetry streams and recorded data to cloud destinations and analysis tools so engineers operators and test teams across locations can understand their systems in real-time.
- Build and develop cloud-native systems that are also edge-compatible: While we are responsible for delivering an excellent cloud data platform experience for all teams across Anduril we also deliver a subset of capabilities to edge nodes to facilitate telemetry capture in offline / air-gapped settings. You will also be responsible for fielding data systems to classified environments.
- Eagerly engage with our customers: We partner closely with business line engineering teams to understand their specific data requirements and iteratively deliver solutions that meet their particular needs and constraints.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with modern lakehouse architectures (Iceberg Delta Lake) ETL systems (Flyte Dagster Airflow Argo Workflows) and distributed data processing engines (Spark Trino etc.).
- Experience developing and operating high-throughput streaming data pipelines (leveraging systems like Spark Streaming Flink Kafka).
- Strong proficiency in Python Java Rust and/or Go (the team predominantly uses Python & Rust for core backend services and pipelines).
- Experience building and operating cloud systems including common containerization and deployability technologies (Docker Kubernetes GitOps systems like FluxCD / ArgoCD).
- U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data. Eligibility to obtain/maintain a US Top Secret clearance is also desirable.
