About the role
- Anduril Australia is developing un-crewed maritime and air domain systems that leverage unsupervised autonomy for long endurance, multi-mission capability.
- Projects such as the Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) Program require Senior GNC Engineers with deep robotics experience to architect and deliver Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) sub-systems.
- The Senior GNC Engineer leverages their experience to rapidly architect, design, deliver, support, and evolve next generation autonomous vehicles through the entire product life-cycle.
Responsibilities
- Lead architecture selection, design and implementation for Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) sub-systems and control schemes for autonomous robotic platforms
- Integrate technology from best-in-class third-party vendors, local research and development partners, and Anduril’s internal product teams
- Contribute to the design and development of other embedded sub-systems
- Develop real-time embedded software using a RTOS
- Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop
- Develop modeling and simulation capabilities that capture appropriate data during testing so that models can be updated and validated
- Analyse test data captured from control systems, subsystems, and other test instrumentation to verify vehicle performance, evaluate GNC algorithm and controller behavior, or debug incidents
- Drive light-weight root cause analyses for vehicle anomalies or incidents that are tied to GNC responsibilities
- Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment
- Work as a member of a multi-disciplinary team, including as a mentor for Software and Hardware Engineers from differing backgrounds
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
- Extensive experience (at least 6 years) with development of high assurance safety critical GNC software, including cascading controls, adaptive controls, and transfer functions
- Systems programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency and optimization
- Extensive experience with MATLAB and Simulink
- Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance
Preferred qualifications
- Familiarity with communications busses and protocols such as CAN, CANFD, ARINC-825, ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, Ethernet, etc
- Experience writing C and/or C++
- Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems
- Experience working with and testing electrical and mechanical systems
- Experience with DO-178 or similar certifications
- Familiarity with open source control software such as PX4, ArduPilot, or ROS
- Experience with RTOS
Benefits
- Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full time offers
- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees supporting health, recovery, and whatever comes next
