Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced autonomous systems, AI, and sensor fusion technology. The Maritime Division is building next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles and related systems, including platforms like Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry, executing billion-dollar contracts while performing Robot-as-a-Service operations.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Vehicle Management Systems team, you will independently drive the delivery of embedded and safety-critical software integrated into autonomous maritime platforms. You will demonstrate end-to-end outcome ownership at the subsystem or system level, acting as a technical lead for the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next-generation autonomous platforms throughout their product lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and implement trusted, safety-critical Vehicle Management Systems that balance multi-stakeholder constraints, restrictions, and requirements
- Design and implement scalable vehicle subsystems including sensor processing, state estimation, contingency management, actuation, payload interfaces, and mission systems interfaces
- Contribute to the design and development of reusable software components across Anduril product lines
- Develop real-time embedded software using an RTOS
- Develop device drivers and interfaces to sensors and actuators
- Create test and simulation fixtures with software-and hardware-in-the-loop capabilities
- Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment
- Work as a mentor within a multi-disciplinary engineering team
- Travel up to 20% to co-locate with end-users and other teams
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant field (or equivalent experience)
- Experienced and proficient at writing C
- Experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
- Familiarity with communications buses and protocols (CAN, CANFD, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, Ethernet, ARINC-825, ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553, etc.)
- Systems programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and optimization
- Capacity to act as technical owner for a software component, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team coordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution
- Capacity to learn and grow individually while mentoring junior team members effectively
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
Preferred qualifications include experience in autonomous vehicle software systems, high-assurance safety-critical software development, sensor and actuator interfaces, troubleshooting remotely deployed systems, electrical and mechanical systems testing, DO-178/IEC 61508 certifications, navigation and communications systems, product delivery lifecycle experience, Systems Engineering concepts, and interest in growth toward Staff Engineer or Engineering Manager roles.
