Job Description:

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.Anduril's Command & Control Division is designing, developing, and deploying a next-generation, software-defined, hardware-enabled distributed C2 architecture, focused on orchestrating 3rd party sensors and strike-platforms across heterogeneous networks in support of time-sensitive operations. Multi-domain connected warfare of this nature requires communications and computing infrastructure capability that exceeds that of the hardware currently deployed to the tactical edge.
