About The Position

Anduril’s Maritime Division is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to drive delivery of embedded and/or safety-critical software for autonomous maritime platforms. The role owns outcomes at the major subsystem or system level and contributes as a technical lead throughout the architecture, design, delivery, support, and evolution of products across their full life cycle. The work includes vehicle management systems and software for device management, drivers, firmware, power management, networking, and contingency management and recovery.

The engineer will design and implement trusted vehicle management systems and scalable vehicle subsystems, including sensor processing, state estimation, contingency management, actuation, payload interfaces, and mission-system interfaces. The position also develops reusable software components, real-time embedded software using an RTOS, device drivers, and interfaces to sensors and actuators. It includes building software- and hardware-in-the-loop test and simulation fixtures, supporting vehicle manufacturing and deployment, and working with a multidisciplinary engineering team. Travel to work alongside end users or other teams may be required up to 20% of the time.

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience and proficiency writing C.
• Experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
• Familiarity with communications buses and protocols such as CAN, CANFD, UART/RS232/RS422/RS485, SPI, QSPI, I2C, Ethernet, ARINC-825, ARINC-429, and MIL-STD-1553.
• Systems programming skills, including algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and optimization.
• Ability to act as technical owner for a software component, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team coordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution.
• Ability to learn and grow individually, mentor junior team members effectively, and contribute to team cohesion and capacity.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
