Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Senior Machine Learning Engineer

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.

At Anduril Australia we are developing un-crewed maritime and air domain systems that leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of long endurance, multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects, including but not limited to the Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) Program, require a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with deep experience developing, testing, validating and deploying machine-learning based sensor processing and the technical toolchains they rely on. The Senior Machine Learning Engineer strives to leverage their experience to rapidly architect, design, deliver, support, and evolve next generation autonomous vehicles through the entire product life-cycle.

• Ability to collaborate with data scientists and stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies
• Experience with the delivery of computer vision capabilities, from the data side as well as the model side
• Capacity to work holistically on machine learning enabled capabilities up and down the software stack and through lifecycle through design, implementation, operation and sustainment
• Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Negative Vetting 2 security clearance (NV2)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with the delivery of capability with a public sector customer
