GNC Engineer

About this role

Anduril Industries seeks a senior Algorithm Developer to architect cutting-edge GPS-denied navigation solutions for autonomous aerial platforms. You'll develop vision-based navigation, sensor fusion, and advanced localization algorithms that transition rapidly from concept to flight-tested systems in contested environments.

What you'll do

• Design and validate GPS-denied navigation algorithms including vision-based navigation, map matching, and sensor fusion
• Drive algorithm development from theory through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and field flight validation
• Collaborate with computer vision, flight software, and simulation teams to integrate navigation solutions
• Analyze flight test data across multiple platforms to identify performance gaps and refine algorithms
• Contribute to Anduril's technical capabilities in collaborative navigation and precision terminal guidance
• Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices in algorithm design and validation

What they're looking for

• State estimation and sensor fusion techniques
• Kalman filtering (Error-State, Invariant Filters)
• Vision-based navigation and computer vision
• Terrain contour matching (TERCOM) and map matching
• Multi-sensor fusion (IMU, EO/IR, radar, star trackers)
• Control theory and dynamic systems
• Flight test analysis and data interpretation
• C++ or Python for algorithm implementation
