The opportunity

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

  • Own the autonomy software architecture: planning, execution, perception, and debrief — using open, modular architecture standards (MOSA/WOSA where applicable)

  • Drive design of mission planning systems for autonomous aviation operations

  • Drive mission execution software that manages vehicle behavior during missions

  • Own perception systems that enable the vehicle to sense and interpret its environment

  • Develop mission debrief capabilities for post-mission analysis and continuous improvement

  • Build and maintain software development infrastructure (CI/CD, simulation, SITL/HITL)

What they're looking for

  • Experience with autonomous aviation systems (UAS, UAV, or manned-unmanned teaming)
  • Working knowledge of ROS/ROS2, behavior trees, or mission planning frameworks
  • Experience with computer vision, EO/IR sensor processing, or airborne perception
  • Familiarity with distributed software architectures and edge computing
  • Experience designing to open systems architecture standards (MOSA/WOSA) for defense acquisition programs
  • Familiarity with MBSE tooling and digital engineering practices (SysML, Cameo, Jama, or similar)
  • Familiarity with containerization and deployment tooling (Docker, Kubernetes) for edge/embedded deployment
  • Experience with simulation environments relevant to aviation/flight dynamics: (e.g., Gazebo, JSBSim, X-Plane, or custom digital-twin sims)
