We are looking for software engineers, roboticists, and front-end 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.WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Define Systems Engineering vision for ALTIUS to drive requirements and verification processes.
  • Develop documentation supporting government Technical Assist programs that involve certifications of the assets.
  • Collaborate and lead requirements decomposition with the Robotics teams.
  • Autonomously execute on broad and/or ambiguous requirements from internal engineering, program office, and third party corporate partners to own successful delivery of outcomes on multiple programs simultaneously.
  • Coordinate and execute frequent test events involving various levels of software and hardware, from full-software simulations to full hardware-in-the-loop demonstrations at test sites.
  • Define a strategy to comply with appropriate Industry standards like DO 178C, MIL-STD-882 E, and NATO UAV.
  • Demonstrate high ownership on all pieces of work; become a trusted partner to Anduril's robotics engineers.
  • Define systems engineering requirements from product requirements.
