Summary Generated by Built In

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 Maritime delivers platforms, systems, and integrated effects in the maritime domain. Our autonomous vehicles (sub-surface and surface) are the cornerstone of these capabilities, and we continually strive to push the boundaries of the possible in terms of endurance, autonomy and mission capability. The Maritime team develops and maintains core products and payloads, and adapts and applies those products to serve a wide variety of defense, IC and commercial customers in US and international markets.

ABOUT THE JOB 

On the Maritime Digital Production team, you will design and build the high-performance geometric and physics-based computation engines that power our digital shipbuilding environment. Your work will enable fast, precise simulations of complex structures, materials, and assemblies—turning digital models into actionable insights for manufacturing and production.

You’ll develop core algorithms for collision detection, spatial partitioning, and physics-based simulation, leveraging tools such as CUDA, OpenCL, and modern C++ for GPU-accelerated performance. You’ll integrate your work with existing geometry, physics, and data systems, supporting both real-time visualization and large-scale numerical analysis.

You’ll collaborate with digital, manufacturing, and corporate technology teams across Anduril in a high-tech, fast-paced culture of innovation that values technical depth, creativity, and execution. If you’re excited to build advanced computational systems that bring geometry and physics to life at production scale, you’ll be helping build the future of digital shipbuilding and the next generation of maritime vehicles.
