About the role
ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril's Air & Missile Defense Radar team develops cutting-edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time. Working in small, focused teams, our software engineers design and implement sophisticated tracking solutions that protect lives and critical assets. Our work spans the full spectrum—from developing novel multi-target tracking algorithms to building high-performance distributed systems that process massive amounts of sensor data in milliseconds.
We don't just publish papers; we deploy production-grade systems that our government and industry customers depend on for mission-critical operations. If you're passionate about applying mathematics, software engineering, and signal processing to solve complex real-world problems, we want to hear from you.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques
- Develop high-performance, real-time software systems that process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on dozens to hundreds of simultaneous targets
- Build and leverage modeling & simulation environments to validate tracking performance, quantify system capabilities, and identify areas for improvement
- Collaborate directly with radar engineers and system architects to integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems
- Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where milliseconds matter
- Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, program leadership, and customers to drive informed decisions
- Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 8 years of relevant experience & Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
- Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
- Solid foundation in mathematics: linear algebra, probability, statistics, and/or differential equations
- Understanding of software engineering fundamentals: design patterns, testing, version control, and debugging
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with tracking, estimation, or filtering algorithms (Kalman filters, particle filters, multiple hypothesis tracking, etc.)
- Background in controls, estimation theory, or digital signal processing
- Familiarity with radar systems or sensor fusion
- Experience with high-performance computing (multithreading, GPU acceleration, distributed systems)
- Knowledge of machine learning techniques for classification, clustering, or data association
- Proficiency with database technologies (SQL, NoSQL, time-series databases)
- Experience with web development technologies (JavaScript, React, Node.js) for building visualization and analysis tools
- Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, or custom frameworks)
- Experience working in agile development environments
- Active U.S. Top Secret SCI clearance
