Senior Robotics Engineer
About our client:
Our client is a Defence products company. Unlike most Defence companies, they don’t wait for their customers to tell us what they need. They identify problems, privately fund the R&D and sell finished products off the shelf. Ideas are turned into deployed capabilities in months, not years, saving the government and taxpayers money along the way.
About the role:
Our client is delivering unmanned systems across all physical military domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of long endurance, multi-mission capability to their customers.
These projects require Senior Robotics Engineers with deep experience delivering robotic systems. The Senior Robotics Engineer strives to leverage their experience with robotic systems to rapidly architect, design, deliver, support, and evolve next generation autonomous vehicles through the entire product life cycle.
Key Responsibilities
Required Qualifications
This contract is available for an initial 6-month term with likely extensions.
Located in Sydney CBD.
This role requires an active AGSVA security clearance or Australian Citizenship and eligibility to obtain a clearance.
How to Apply
Please upload your resume to apply. We will be in touch with further instructions for suitably skilled candidates. Please note that you will be required to complete selection criteria to complete your application for this role.
Call George Wright on 0480 011 549 or email georgew@whizdom.com.au for any further information.
Candidates will need to be willing to undergo pre-employment screening checks which may include, ID and work rights, security clearance verification and any other client requested checks.
Senior Robotics 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 Senior Robotics
Engineers with deep experience delivering robotic systems. The Senior Robotics Engineer strives to leverage their
experience with robotic systems to rapidly architect, design, deliver, support, and evolve next generation
autonomous vehicles through the entire product life-cycle.
What You'll Do
• Lead design and implementation of perception and planning algorithms into vehicle system software to
ensure safe navigation and effective operation of autonomous vehicles
• Utilize advanced techniques in computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning to enhance perception
and planning capabilities of Anduril vehicles
• Develop software that runs on- and off- platform, using a variety of technologies
• Contribute to the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and
subsequent iteration of robotic software, including full lifecycle testing
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to integrate perception and planning technologies into vehicle
architectures
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of perception and planning algorithms through simulation and real-
world experiments
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems
engineers, to ensure effective system integration and testing
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent
experience
• Experienced and proficient in C++ and/or Python software development
• Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as sonar, LIDAR, and cameras
• Demonstrated knowledge of at least one of: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, machine
learning
• Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement,
requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment
and evolution
• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement robust validation and verification strategies
for perception and planning modules
• Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team
cohesion and capacity
• Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with autonomous systems in the air, maritime or space domains
• Experience with simulation tools and frameworks, such as Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine, for algorithm
validation and testing
• Knowledge of safety standards and certification processes for autonomous systems
• Familiarity with System Engineering concepts
• Desire to learn and grow in to other roles that require experience as a Senior Robotics Engineer, such as
Principal Robotics Engineer and/or Engineering Manager
• Desire to grow in to a Tech-Lead-Manager role, with responsibility for line management of engineers, in
addition to delivery
