Anduril Industries is seeking a Flight Software Engineer to develop and scale HITL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and integration test infrastructure. This role focuses on building robust software systems that enable rapid testbed configuration, management, and execution across multiple autonomous platforms—from Group 5 aircraft to autonomous boats and space-based systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and implementing an integration test framework capable of executing tests across SITL (Software-in-the-Loop) and HITL environments
- Creating scalable infrastructure for testbed configuration management and lifecycle operations
- Enabling secure, shared access to hardware resources across OPSEC isolation boundaries
- Proliferating common HITL and test infrastructure across diverse programs within Anduril's Autonomous Defense & Sustainment organization
- Supporting real-time simulation, avionics integration, and closed-loop testing with physical hardware
Required qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or related technical discipline
- Advanced proficiency with Python
- Familiarity with C/C++
- Hands-on experience with HITL or SITL simulation operations, including test setup, execution, and debugging
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret clearance
Preferred qualifications include advanced C/C++ proficiency, experience developing subsystem and system-level models, flight test support experience, expertise with avionics interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, serial protocols), and demonstrated ability to operate HITL labs supporting multiple concurrent programs.
This is an opportunity to play a core role in enabling Anduril's autonomous systems organization to scale by orders of magnitude while working with cutting-edge defense technology.
