ABOUT THE TEAM

The Tactical Reconnaissance and Strike division at Anduril develops a diverse set of robotic systems. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Anvil, Altius, and Bolt from paper sketches to operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Autonomy, and Manufacturing to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers, roboticists, and full-stack and mobile developers who are excited about creating a powerful robotics platform that can be tasked and viewed in real-time through a variety of interfaces.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for Android Engineers to join our team. As an Android Engineer at Anduril you will be architecting and building out user interface applications from backend to frontend, deploying them to users, and making sure they're meeting users' requirements. You will be working alongside a team of engineers with diverse backgrounds as well as engaging with internal and external stakeholders. Your decisions will have a large impact on the company today and into the future. We believe that simple systems are easier to understand, maintain, and scale. You will be making trade-offs as you work to ensure that our systems are prepared to scale - being able to effectively communicate these trade-offs with your teammates is key.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, build, test, and deploy real-time, map-based user interfaces for displaying and interacting with sensor data and controlling the Ghost, Altius, and Bolt aircraft from an Android application through the Android Tactical Assault Kit's (ATAK) plugin ecosystem to enable tactical control for end users.
• Define and implement APIs for network communications, real-time telemetry, vehicle configuration, sensor / payload control with full motion video streaming, manual controls, and autonomous tasking.
• Help define foundational software architectures, visual designs, and user experience / interaction workflows for multiple UAS, working directly with chief engineers, product designers, program managers, flight test engineers, and end-user customers to demonstrate capability and iterate on feedback.
• Work directly with Android frontend technologies like Jetpack Compose, high-performance backend technologies like Java / Kotlin / C++ / Rust / Golang, and software product lifecycle technologies likes CMake / Cargo / gradle / NixOS / CircleCI / Docker.
• Work directly with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) SDK and the TAK Product Centers' developer community (see tak.gov for more information).
• Work alongside engineers using multiple other full stack technologies like TypeScript / React, C++ / Qt, and C# / .NET.
• Test and evaluate your software at multiple levels of rigor using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets.
