Embedded Software Engineer, EW

Anduril Industries•Costa Mesa, CA

About The Position

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. Anduril's Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) team is seeking experienced embedded software engineers to build out the software ecosystem supporting a next-generation electromagnetic warfare platform. You'll develop correct, secure, high-reliability embedded software in Rust for controlling electromagnetic warfare assets, both on Linux (NixOS) and in bare-metal/RTOS environments using async frameworks like Embassy and RTIC. You will collaborate with Electrical, RF, and Programmable Logic (PL) engineers to build high-performance hardware/software interfaces, and work with the wider software organization to integrate electromagnetic warfare products with the Anduril Lattice system-of-systems suite. The role also includes building Linux-side CLI tools in Rust for calibration, deployment, and diagnostics, and applying state-of-the-art software construction techniques to rapidly deploy cutting-edge capabilities to our customers.
