"But for this one, put aside your CV and interview-question AI bot. To secure the job, just place first in a global autonomous drone racing competition. That's how defense industry disruptor Anduril is recruiting for an engineering role. The defense tech startup has launched an "AI Grand Prix" to find "the boldest engineers from around the globe." Anduril's competition calls teams and individuals from around the globe to develop AI systems capable of piloting high-speed racing drones through professional-grade race courses with zero human control. The fastest drone to fly autonomously through a course wins."
"The "AI Grand Prix" kicks off in April with two virtual rounds, followed by a two-week training and physical qualifier in California in September. The big race day will be held in November in Ohio, where Anduril is building a 5 million-square-foot factory. Arsenal-1, as the factory is known, is just outside Columbus. Participants can compete individually or in teams of up to eight. All ages are allowed to participate, but under-17s require parental consent and won't be eligible for the job at Anduril following the competition. If the event is won by a team, the $500,000 prize money will be split between its members, Anduril said."
Anduril is running an "AI Grand Prix" that tasks individuals and teams to build AI systems that autonomously pilot high-speed racing drones through professional-grade courses. The competition begins with two virtual rounds in April, includes a two-week training and physical qualifier in California in September, and culminates in a November race in Ohio near Anduril's new Arsenal-1 factory. Participants may be any age (under-17s need parental consent and are ineligible for employment). Teams of up to eight may split the $500,000 prize if they win. The competition emphasizes optimizing code to achieve the fastest autonomous flight.
