GNC Senior Software Engineer

Strong knowledge of path planning techniques, such as graph-based search (A*, D* Lite), sampling-based planners (RRT, RRT*, PRM), and lattice or grid-based planners.

Demonstrated experience in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC); trajectory optimization; and/or the development of predictive models for vehicle dynamics and weapon system effectiveness (e.g., 6-DoF simulation, intercept analysis).

Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, computational geometry, and graph theory.

Knowledge of vehicle dynamics, kinematic constraints, and control theory as applied to autonomous ground, air, or maritime platforms tasked through C2 systems.

Familiarity with map representations, terrain reasoning, and the efficient handling of large-scale geospatial and environmental data within distributed C2 architectures.

Background in machine learning as applied to planning and decision-making, including reinforcement learning, learned heuristics, and behavior prediction.

Define and influence the direction of a small team within the Command and Control Software organization, leveraging your subject-matter expertise in path planning and route optimization.

Prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for global and local path planning, trajectory optimization, and multi-agent coordination within command and control systems.

Develop high-performance software for real-time C2 systems, ranging from operator-facing mission planning tools to autonomous tasking and routing services that orchestrate fleets of unmanned platforms.

Drive customer success by customizing algorithms and software for mission-critical use cases, including collaborative autonomy, asset routing, and obstacle and threat avoidance.

Integrate path planning technologies into the broader command and control software stack and development lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.

At Anduril, our Battelspace Awareness Command and Control Software team specializes in solving complex, real-world problems through cutting-edge algorithms and intelligent software integrations. Operating in small, innovative teams, we push the boundaries of what's possible to deliver advanced technologies with mission-critical applications. Our commitment doesn't end with academic research or proof-of-concept experiments; we measure our success by the real-world impact of our deployed solutions. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's vision — "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" — we aim to achieve groundbreaking results in path planning, route optimization, and autonomous mission execution at the command and control layer. We are currently seeking highly talented technologists to join our mission and redefine the future of defense technology.
