About the Team
The Anduril Frontier Systems team is building the next generation of robotic platforms for defense and industrial applications. We are a small, high-performing group of roboticists, ML engineers, and systems engineers dedicated to delivering real-world capability to operators in the field. Our systems operate in unstructured, contested environments where robustness and reliability are non-negotiable. We are committed to delivering validated, integrated capabilities to the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Locomotion to develop and deploy locomotion policies for legged robotic platforms. You will own the full pipeline from simulation training to real-world deployment, building systems that enable robust mobility across challenging terrain such as rubble, stairs, slopes, and degraded environments. Your work will directly determine whether our platforms can operate where warfighters need them most.
Hiring Process & Security
Candidates for this role must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance. As part of the application process, Anduril utilizes a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening.
