Job Summary
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Sensor Simulation team at Anduril is building a platform for generating synthetic imagery for a variety of teams across the company. Use cases span a variety of areas such as SITL (software in the loop) and HITL (hardware in the loop) integration tests of our systems machine learning (ML) data generation and user training mission is to close the sim2real gapbuilding synthetic imagery pipelines so realistic and physically accurate that our autonomy stack cant tell the difference between synthetic and real-world data. This directly accelerates development and validation of Andurils perception and autonomy capabilities. Were looking for software engineers with strong coding skills and deep relevant experience who can learn quickly and help build out the platform. Candidates must have hands-on background in robotics autonomy systems or game engineswe need versatile generalists who can connect cutting-edge graphics with real-world sensor behavior.
WHAT YOULL DO
- Develop and maintain core capabilities in Unreal Engine such as a terrain rendering pipeline vehicle physics models and many more
- Work with other platform teams at Anduril to ensure our service integrates seamlessly with other core services
- Integrate various plugins and third party capabilities into our platform figuring out how to best make use of them and working around or fixing any bugs
- Collaborate closely with other teams across the company to enable them to integrate synthetic imagery and bring back lessons learned to help improve our product
- Iterate on sensor fidelity and environmental realism based on feedback from autonomy teams bridging the gap between synthetic training data and real-world performance
