Senior Embedded Security - C​/C++, Air Dominance & Strike

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.

The Flight Software team at Anduril develops flight computer vehicle software for all airborne and subsea vehicles. The right person for this role has experience in both commercial (product focused) and public sector (defense) technical environments, and is looking to leverage their passion for avionics and flight software. As a Flight Software Engineer, you will be responsible for developing the microcontroller embedded software that powers Anduril’s aircraft while working alongside a team of engineers with a diverse set of backgrounds and skills.

Anduril has a collaborative culture with plenty of opportunities for ownership. As an early member of the team, your decisions today will have a large impact on the company now and into the future, as well as on our customers!

This role will be focused on Embedded Security and working with the teams as we continue to harden the security of our systems.

Anduril has been selected as one of two vendors to move forward on the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program for the Air Force’s flagship autonomous aircraft program. During the next phase, Anduril will design, manufacture, and test production‑representative CCAs. We are honored to be part of the program as a non‑traditional defense company and are seeking highly motivated candidates to join us in the rapid development of a new, revolutionary aircraft.
