Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM The Lattice Autonomy team builds a robotics platform that enables users to rapidly build, test, & iterate on multi-agent autonomy. Our customers use teams of heterogeneous vehicles that can sense the world, move around, and coordinate to achieve their objectives given high-level plans from an operator. We are building a mission autonomy platform that is deployed on a variety of robotics platforms from high-end autonomous jets and large underwater autonomous vehicles through to smaller rotary wing aircraft, and everything in between. Every mission demands a different set of payloads, and our mission autonomy software must be flexible enough to allow users to build behaviors that make the best use of the specific sensors & payloads available. Core to our autonomy software is distributed systems, such as teams and swarms of assets coordinating to achieve higher level goals, and network meshes that require dynamic channel configuration to ensure assets can communicate. We’re looking to grow our architecture further along these axes, and you’ll have the chance to not only drive these APIs both for internal and 3rd party usage, but also build the model implementations that will see widespread usage throughout the company as well.
