Joe Chen

Joe Chen holds a highly rigorous background in software engineering and complex systems architecture. Before co-founding Anduril, he spent years as a senior software engineer at Palantir Technologies, working on highly sensitive data integration platforms used by government and military intelligence agencies. This deep, hands-on experience building mission-critical software for the national security sector gave him the precise technical DNA required to architect Anduril's Lattice platform.

Joe Chen is a co-founder and an engineering leader at Anduril Industries, bringing immense technical expertise to the company's ambitious artificial intelligence and autonomous systems efforts. Joining forces with the other ex-Palantir founders in 2017, Chen was instrumental in architecting Lattice, Anduril's core AI-powered software platform. Lattice acts as the 'brain' of Anduril's ecosystem, instantly fusing massive amounts of data from radars, optical sensors, and drones into a single, cohesive command-and-control interface. Chen's relentless focus on software reliability, edge computing, and real-time data processing has allowed Anduril to successfully deploy highly autonomous, intelligent systems to the U.S. military and allied forces, completely disrupting the legacy defense contractor model.
