Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into a real-time 3D command and control center. Anduril brings cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to military applications.
As a Firmware Engineer on the Manufacturing Test team, you will develop platforms to interact with Anduril's products at the lowest levels, working with communication protocols including I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, and USB. You'll be part of an interdisciplinary product development team delivering streamlined solutions for test execution and automation. Your code ensures consistent shipment of the highest quality products to customers. You will build features for embedded Linux, NIX, and several RTOS platforms, debug complex data acquisition challenges in analog and digital domains, and develop creative solutions to difficult testing problems while continuously improving automation methods, throughput, user interfaces, and data analytics.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building firmware and software for testing other systems, utilizing expertise to anticipate failure modes and create code for host/client verification of form, fit, and function
- Developing low-level firmware/software for microcontroller platforms interfacing with robots or control algorithms for off-the-shelf data acquisition tools
- Building device-side validation of system-level features using SSH, gRPC, and existing debug tools
- Quickly debugging and troubleshooting issues spanning electrical, firmware, and software boundaries, then transferring those processes to automated test and failure analysis SOPs for production line staff
- Engaging in DFT/DFM reviews with electrical engineering and product firmware teams
REQUIREMENTS:
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
- 5 years of professional industry experience
- Strong C coding ability for embedded systems
- Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors
- Experience developing firmware in bare-metal, RTOS environments, and embedded Linux
- Solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring-up, and debugging
- Familiarity with common bus protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, and Ethernet
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 8 years of professional industry experience
- Bring-up and debug expertise for new designs, comfortable with low and high-speed interfaces
- Strong fundamentals in data acquisition and analysis (FFT, Bode, control loops)
- Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC)
- Experience with embedded Linux development and deployment processes
- Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Bias for action and natural curiosity about technologies and tools
