Think of it as being a forward-deployed engineer for quantum computing applications; the strongest candidates will be generalists with wide-ranging interests. 

This team will work closely with Developer Tools, Infrastructure, and Product teams to solve problems by choosing the right technologies, and standardizing and automating those solutions. The right engineer will be comfortable working on refining chemistry simplification via Quantum Computing tool one quarter, and turning a novel quantum topology solver into a service the next - and love pair programming with scientists. They’ll bring the quantum expertise; you bring the deep and broad experience in classical programming.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with Application scientists to help deliver cutting-edge solutions for customers
• Elevate Applications code quality generally through architectural review, code review, standards, and best practices
• Improve Applications pace of delivery by creating CI / CD pipelines and other packaging automation, as well as test infrastructure and coverage
• Help productize computing code, especially improving data processing in pre-quantum and post-quantum processing steps
• Work closely with peers in Applications, Developer Tools, and Product teams to share best practices and feedback on internal tools
• Reporting to the Director of Application Engineering, help hire and mentor developers on the team

You’d be a good fit with:

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Air & Missile Defense Radar team develops cutting-edge tracking algorithms and software systems that detect, track, and characterize airborne threats in real-time. We're building the next generation of tracking intelligence capabilities—automated analysis systems that understand tracking performance, identify failure modes, and continuously improve our algorithms through data-driven insights.

This role sits at the intersection of ML engineering and tracking domain expertise. You'll build end-to-end pipelines that ingest tracking algorithm telemetry, analyze correlation failures and performance anomalies, train models to automate root cause analysis, and deploy production tools that help engineers ask questions like "why didn't track X and track Y associate?" We don't just track targets; we track our tracking systems and make them smarter.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own tracking intelligence infrastructure end-to-end: Build the platform for ingesting tracking algorithm telemetry (hypotheses, scores, gains, association decisions), feature engineering performance metrics, training analysis models, and deploying them into production
• Automate tracking analysis: Develop ML models that identify correlation failures, track quality degradation, and root causes for tracking anomalies—replacing manual deep-dive investigations with scalable automated insights
• Build autotuning capabilities: Create systems that recognize incoming data characteristics and automatically adjust tracking algorithm parameters, frame rates, and model configurations for optimal performance
• Design human-in-the-loop tools: Build interfaces and query services that let engineers ask natural questions about tracking behavior and get data-driven answers backed by your models
• Exploit tracking telemetry: Instrument C++ tracking algorithms with appropriate logging (working with platform engineers), then marshal that data into consistent formats for analysis and model training
• Deploy in constrained environments: Package and deploy models for air-gapped systems with no external connectivity, following security scanning requirements where ML models are treated as data artifacts
• Manage the ML lifecycle: Handle data catalogs, ground truth labeling, model registries, versioning, and validation—ensuring models improve tracking performance in measurable ways
• Bridge domains: Translate between tracking algorithm fundamentals (Kalman filters, data association, multi-hypothesis tracking) and ML/data science techniques to build solutions that actually work
• Drive make/build decisions: Evaluate when to build custom models vs. leverage existing ML capabilities, selecting appropriate algorithm architectures for tracking intelligence problems
• Work hands-on-keyboard: This is a one-person show initially—you'll architect, code, deploy, and iterate rapidly using modern Python-based ML tooling

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of experience with a strong mix of ML engineering and data science—you've built models AND deployed them into production systems
• Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
• Experience with MLOps practices: data pipelines, feature engineering, model versioning, experiment tracking, and deployment workflows
• Familiarity with ML infrastructure tooling (MLflow, Dagster/Airflow, or similar orchestration tools)
• Understanding of tracking, estimation, or filtering algorithms (Kalman filters, data association techniques)—you need to understand what tracking algorithms output and why they make the decisions they do
• Ability to work with streaming time-series data and engineer features from algorithm telemetry
• Experience building data catalogs, managing ground truth labels, and validating model performance
• Strong software engineering fundamentals—you can build maintainable, production-quality code independently
• Comfortable working in C++ environments enough to add instrumentation/logging (no deep algorithm development required)
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience deploying ML models in edge, embedded, or air-gapped environments with security constraints
• Background in defense, aerospace, or sensor systems
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) for model serving and deployment
• Experience with anomaly detection, root cause analysis, or automated diagnostics systems
• Knowledge of AutoML, hyperparameter tuning, or online learning techniques
• Understanding of radar systems, sensor fusion, or signal processing
• Experience building conversational or query interfaces for technical systems
• Familiarity with model registries and model-as-data artifact management
• Experience with distributed data processing (Spark, Dask) for large-scale telemetry analysis
• Formal coursework or training in MLOps, data science, or estimation theory
• Active U.S. Top Secret SCI clearance

• Collaborate with the software and GNC teams to implement algorithm in flight software.
• Heavily support hardware-in-the-loop testing for integrated system validation.
• Design concepts of operations (CONOPS) that balance thermal, power, momentum and communications for spacecraft missions.
• Provide mission operations training and support.

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical engineering discipline
• 5+ years of experience working in guidance, navigation, and control
• Software development experience in Python
• Experience developing, debugging, and deploying GNC sensors, effectors and algorithms that have been used in real world applications/projects
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere
• Proven ability to lead a project from conception to completion

Desired:

• Experience with cradle-to-grave spacecraft design, testing, verification/validation and in-orbit mission operations
• Expertise in either guidance, navigation or control
• Experience with multi-body astrodynamics
• Experience with Git, Linux and Basilisk
• Software development experience in C/C++
• Capable of identifying and solving complex problems with little to no supervision or direction
