Software Engineer, Computational Geometry

Anduril Industries
Costa Mesa, CA

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.
