Summary
Nick Janne is a Mission Software Engineer at Anduril with nine years of experience spanning robotics, aerospace, RF systems, and deployed autonomous software. He holds a BE in Computer Engineering and an MS in Robotics from the University of Michigan, where his research on affordance fields and vision-language-action models advanced manipulation and human-in-the-loop control. At SpaceX he contributed to Starship avionics and GNC, and now focuses on guidance, navigation, and control for vehicles that behave like operating systems. Comfortable across hardware and large AI models, he bridges RF component design, fielded software, and research-driven autonomy. Based in Costa Mesa, he brings a rare mix of lab-scale experimentation and production-focused engineering to mission-critical robotic systems.
