Senior Software Engineer; Flight Software

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 Maritime Division has assembled a diverse team of experts in software, robotics, artificial intelligence, sensor fusion, and data analysis to create software and hardware solutions that radically evolve the capabilities of our customers. We are fielding the next generation of autonomous systems to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of maritime operations. Anduril has brought to market a unique, ultra‑long‑range, full‑ocean‑depth underwater vessel platform and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from “small” to “extra‑large” vehicle sizes.

Today, Anduril is executing on billion‑dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) AUV operations.

We are seeking to sustain our early successes with deep investment in an expanded product portfolio. These products, including Dive‑XL, Dive‑LD, Copperhead, Seabed Sentry, and other unannounced systems, will deliver a coherent system‑of‑systems, enabling the end‑to‑end conduct of a variety of autonomous missions in the maritime domain. If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact and working on systems that directly contribute to achieving national strategic priorities, we want you to join Anduril’s Maritime Division and help us build the future of defense capability.

Senior Software Engineers independently drive the delivery of a variety of embedded and/or safety critical software integrated into our products. This includes device management, drivers, firmware, power management, networking, and contingency management and recovery. We expect Senior Software Engineers to demonstrate end‑to‑end outcome ownership at the major subsystem or system level. Senior Software Engineers contribute as a technical lead to the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life‑cycle.
