Firmware Engineer

Summary

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. As a Firmware Engineer on the Mission Software Engineering team, you will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, and robotics, ensuring Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve critical outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Own the software solutions that are deployed to customers
• Write code to improve products and scale the mission capability to more customers
• Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality
• Create and analyze metrics that are leveraged for debugging and monitoring
• Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate next-steps
• Partner with end-users to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints
• Travel up to 30% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world

Skills

• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics
• At least 2-5+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Java, Python, Rust, Go, JavaScript, etc. (We encourage all levels to apply)
• Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
• A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance
• **Customer Facing** - Mission Software Engineers are the software engineers closest to Anduril customers, end-users, and the technical challenges of operational scenarios
• **Mission First** - Above all, MSEs execute their mission in an *expedient*, *scalable*, and *pragmatic* way. They keep the mission top-of-mind and make pragmatic and thoughtful engineering decisions to deliver successful outcomes
• **Small Project Wrangling = Large Project Impact** - Our MSEs are the voice of our business line(s). They are the forcing function that gets us to think about how a project will transition to production and tie in to the centralized functions across the business
• **Embrace Challenge (and follow through)** - We take responsibility for achieving the mission; Developing technical self-sufficiency across a wide range of environments. Ruthlessly prioritizing, while honing our ability to understand large systems and incorporate new components in varying levels of complexity
