Practice questions in Anduril's style

Original ZorixOS questions written the way Anduril interviews, so you rehearse the real format. Not claimed as asked at Anduril.

  1. Imagine you are designing a new feature for Anduril's Lattice platform to enable autonomous drone swarming for reconnaissance missions over contested airspace. Describe the high-level system architecture, focusing on how you would ensure real-time communication, threat assessment, and coordinated decision-making among the drones.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates system design skills, understanding of distributed systems, and ability to apply them to complex defense scenarios.
  2. We are developing a new AI model for Anduril's Counter-UAS system. You've identified a potential bug in the object detection pipeline where it's misclassifying small, fast-moving drones as birds. How would you systematically debug this issue, from initial hypothesis to validation?

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses debugging methodology, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills in an AI context.
  3. Given Anduril's focus on AI-powered defense, how would you design a CI/CD pipeline for a safety-critical system like Anvil, ensuring both rapid iteration and robust verification of AI model performance before deployment?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Tests understanding of CI/CD for ML, safety critical systems, and balancing speed with reliability.
  4. You are building a real-time threat assessment module for Anduril's Altius system. The system needs to process sensor data from multiple sources (radar, electro-optical, acoustic) and fuse it to identify and track potential threats. Discuss the challenges of data fusion in a high-latency, potentially noisy environment and propose solutions.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Probes system design for sensor fusion, real-time processing, and handling noisy, high-latency data.
  5. Anduril's products often operate in environments with intermittent connectivity. Design a system for a dismounted soldier using an Anduril device that can reliably collect and synchronize sensor data when connectivity is restored, prioritizing critical information.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates ability to design for unreliable networks and data synchronization strategies.
  6. Describe how you would implement a robust logging and monitoring strategy for Anduril's cloud-based command and control systems to detect anomalies and ensure system health in real-time.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Assesses knowledge of logging, monitoring, and anomaly detection for distributed systems.
