Software Engineer Visual Simulation, Advanced Capabilities

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

Anduril is seeking a Software Engineer (Visual Simulation) to join the Maneuver Dominance Advanced Capabilities team in our London office. The team is a strategic/future-looking organisation focused on delivering 3 core components - Capability Strategy, Mission Advantage and Maneuver Advantage. Leveraging analysis, Wargaming and Warfighter centric thinking, the team guides how Maneuver Dominance incubates, builds and deploys the capabilities needed to dominate in a future fight.

About The Role

You will lead development of novel Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality user experiences that enable operations analysis and wargaming in support of our product development and our customers. The ideal candidate would be practical, hands-on and a self starter with high growth potential. You will have extensive UE5 production experience with demonstrable environment work (production or shipped installations). A strong artistic eye for composition and detail combined with solid engineering habits (testing, documentation, version control for tools).
