Senior Software Engineer (Robotics Data Foundation, Cloud)

About this role

• The Robotics Data Foundation (RDF) team builds Anduril’s vehicle telemetry backbone, from onboard systems to cloud
• This includes onboard data recording and backhaul, ingestion into our cloud data platform, normalizing data across flight controllers and vehicle management systems, mission systems, and sensor payloads, and making it available to a range of downstream 1st and 3rd-party analysis tools. Our vehicle telemetry platform powers software and hardware development, T&E workflows, production incident response, and contractual customer reporting today, and underpins new product development, fleet-wide analysis, simulation, and machine learning workflows
• Anduril sits on the world’s largest defense robotics data asset, and the RDF team is working to operationalize that across the board
• As an engineer on the Robotics Data Foundation team, you will design and build the Anduril-wide cloud systems that host our ingestion pipelines, storage systems, and tooling that carry vehicle telemetry from onboard systems to the cloud and make it discoverable, searchable, and analyzable across the fleet
• You’ll normalize data across flight controllers, vehicle management systems, mission systems, and sensor payloads, and expose it to downstream 1st- and 3rd-party analysis tools, and build infrastructure that supports large-scale batch ingestion of recorded telemetry, as well as low-latency streaming
• Build reliable and performant cloud data systems: Our software ingests high volumes of telemetry across Anduril, so the systems we ship must be high-availability and stable when processing high-scale vehicle telemetry
• Design extensible telemetry and data architectures: Robotics teams have diverse data sources that are often unique to a platform or sensor. Our architecture must enable easy integration of bespoke data sources into our standardized ingestion framework
• Enable data-driven engineering in real-time: We own the software that delivers live telemetry streams and re...
