Software Engineer - Mission Autonomy

Anduril Industries is seeking a Software Engineer for their Mission Autonomy team to work on cutting-edge autonomous robotics systems. This role sits at the intersection of defense technology and advanced autonomy, where you'll be developing sophisticated behavior systems for teams of autonomous robots operating across air, land, and sea platforms.

The position involves working with C++ to build and maintain the core behavior tree execution framework that powers Anduril's autonomous systems. You'll be creating APIs that enable complex robot control and developing behavior nodes that users can compose into higher-level autonomous functions. The role requires strong technical skills in C++ and Linux environments, combined with an understanding of robotics and autonomous systems.

As part of the Mission Autonomy team, you'll be working on software that directly impacts real-world military capabilities, developing solutions that must perform reliably in uncertain and challenging environments. The work involves everything from low-level framework development to high-level behavior design, all while ensuring the systems remain robust and dependable.

The ideal candidate will have 1-5 years of software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals. Experience with behavior trees, distributed systems, or AI/Robotics (particularly in areas like motion planning, sensor fusion, or multi-agent planning) is highly valued. The role offers competitive compensation ($138,000-$207,000) plus equity, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work on meaningful projects that enhance U.S. and allied military capabilities.

This position is based in Pittsburgh, PA, and requires U.S. Person status due to export control requirements. You'll be joining a fast-paced, innovative team that's disrupting traditional defense technology approaches with modern software practices and cutting-edge autonomy solutions. The role offers significant growth potential and the chance to work on complex technical challenges while contributing to national security capabilities.
