About the Team Anduril's Maritime Division has assembled a diverse team of experts in software, robotics, artificial intelligence, sensor fusion, and data analysis to create software and hardware solutions that radically evolve the capabilities of our customers.
We are fielding the next generation of autonomous systems to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of maritime operations.
Anduril has brought to market a unique, ultra-long-range, full-ocean-depth underwater vessel platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from small to extra-large vehicle sizes.
Today, Anduril is executing on billion-dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) AUV operations.
We are seeking to sustain our early successes with deep investment in an expanded product portfolio.
These products, including Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, Seabed Sentry, and other unannounced systems, will deliver a coherent system-of-systems, enabling the end-to-end conduct of a variety of autonomous missions in the maritime domain.
If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact and working on systems that directly contribute to achieving national strategic priorities, we want you to join Anduril's Maritime Division and help us build the future of defence capability.
About the Job Senior Software Engineering Managers independently lead groups of teams to deliver a variety of software integrated into our products.
This includes autonomy, simulation, data processing, payload integration, and off-board command and control or decision support.
We expect Senior Software Engineering Managers to demonstrate independent end-to-end outcome ownership of software for an integrated product family, and the teams responsible for building and maintaining it.
Senior Software Engineering Managers contribute as a group lead to the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.
