Senior Embedded Software Engineer, EW

Anduril Industries•Costa Mesa, CA

About The Position

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.

Excellent technical communication and collaboration skills
Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. TS security clearance

Nice To Haves

Experience with embedded async Rust frameworks (Embassy, RTIC)
Proficiency in C for reading and interfacing with vendor HALs and legacy codebases
Experience with software-defined digital radio systems
Experience with industry standards bodies or open-source communities
Experience measuring and enhancing performance related to speed, size, power consumption, and cost
Experience with Nix/NixOS
Understanding of functional programming languages like Haskell

Responsibilities

Participate in system design, part selection, and schematic reviews for product revisions and greenfield products
Write and maintain device drivers for microcontroller peripherals and external ICs
Implement bootloaders and over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms
