Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops state-of-the-art imaging systems powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers.
The Imaging team is seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to design new product lines. You will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to define designs, conduct analysis, build prototypes leading to ground and flight testing, and mature prototypes into production systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead FPGA architecture, standards, development and review processes
- Design, architect, simulate, and integrate VHDL designs into FPGAs or Systems on Chip (SoC) for optimized performance, resource utilization, and power efficiency
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical engineers, software engineers, systems engineers) to ensure seamless hardware/software integration, including processor bring-up and board support packages
- Develop robust test benches in VHDL/Verilog and utilize lab tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for rigorous testing and validation against functional specifications and performance requirements
- Optimize algorithms for hardware acceleration, including MIPS optimization and efficient use of on-chip bus protocols like AXI or AXI-Stream
You will be involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro-optical, infrared, and sensor data to give warfighters and allies a competitive advantage.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field
- 10+ years of experience developing HDL firmware for FPGA devices
- Expertise in VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL (Register Transfer Level) design
- Experience with industry-standard FPGA design tools such as Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus
- Strong hardware/software debugging skills using standard lab equipment
- Proficiency with version control systems (e.g., Git) for collaborative development
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Demonstrated experience designing with multi-gigabit SERDES, DDR memory busses, Ethernet MAC and PHY interfaces, FPGAs, and common communication busses like SPI and I2C
- Embedded software development experience with timers, interrupts, hardware peripherals such as SPI controllers and ADCs
- Knowledge of embedded Linux development, including device trees, hardware drivers, bootloaders, and basic Unix/Linux tools
- Familiarity with common programming languages like Python and MATLAB
- Familiarity with infrared image sensor technology
