Software Engineer, Sentry Software (Manufacturing)

Anduril • Irvine, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

The Sentry Tower Software team develops robotic systems that provide force-protection capabilities by monitoring secure land and sea perimeters for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels. Its products use sensor fusion and autonomy to present activity in Lattice's common operating picture.

The Software Engineer, with a focus on manufacturing, will build and maintain software for current and next-generation Sentry Tower systems. The role centers on automated hardware verification, diagnostic tools, and user-friendly interfaces for production-floor technicians. This software is used to verify each tower before shipment, making reliable testing important for detecting defects while hardware is still accessible. The engineer will work directly with technicians and manufacturing engineers, respond to issues blocking production, and continually improve testing frameworks for efficiency and reliability.

Requirements

• Experience building test automation, instrumentation, or tooling for hardware, and comfort working with hardware on a bench.
• Proficiency in Python for test and tooling work.
• At least 2 years of experience in Rust or C++ to work in the services under test.
• A solid grasp of networking principles, including CAN and Ethernet protocols.
• Expertise in hardware interfacing, diagnostic tools such as Wireshark and CANoe, and cybersecurity principles related to secure and reliable sensor-data transmission.
• A strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• US person status and eligibility to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Develop automated test suites to verify hardware functionality and performance.
• Create user-friendly interfaces that help non-technical users diagnose issues.
• Implement robust error-capturing mechanisms that provide actionable insights.
• Collaborate with hardware and quality assurance teams to integrate testing tools.
• Work directly with technicians and manufacturing engineers who use the tooling on every shift, optimizing for their time.
• Continuously improve testing frameworks to enhance efficiency and reliability.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers.
• A comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
