Robotics Software Engineer, Roadrunner

Anduril Industries is seeking a Robotics Software Engineer for their Roadrunner project within the Air Dominance & Strike team. This role focuses on developing aerial and multi-domain robotic systems, including products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile). The position involves working with cutting-edge autonomy software stack including computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, and secure communications.

The ideal candidate will join a team responsible for creating autonomous capabilities that enable collaborative unmanned systems to deliver user-supervised multi-mission capabilities. This role requires expertise in both robotics and software engineering, with strong skills in Rust or C++, and experience with frontend development using TypeScript and React.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on transformative defense technology, combining advanced robotics with AI and autonomous systems. You'll be part of a team that's changing how military systems are designed and built, working with Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that transforms thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

Key responsibilities include designing autonomy solutions, developing APIs for robotic systems, creating test and simulation capabilities, and collaborating across teams to deliver complex functionality. The role requires travel up to 30% of time for building, testing, and deploying capabilities in real-world scenarios.

Anduril offers a competitive compensation package including a salary range of $138,000 - $252,000 USD, comprehensive benefits including platinum healthcare coverage, generous PTO, and professional development opportunities. The position is based in Costa Mesa, California, and requires eligibility for a US DoD Security Clearance.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced software engineers passionate about robotics and autonomous systems, wanting to make a real-world impact in defense technology while working with cutting-edge technology and a talented team.
