Orbital Software Engineer, Space Security Clearance

Position: Orbital Software Engineer, Space with Security Clearance
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. ABOUT THE TEAM Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners.

We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested war fighting domain. ABOUT THE JOB As an Orbital Software Engineer on Space, you will contribute to the architecture and deployment of software solutions that support specific customer missions for on-orbit spacecraft operations and mission management.

As a software engineer, you will provide guidance and oversight to a team developing modular capabilities to support the DoD and IC customers across the space domain. This will involve architecture of an orbital software system in coordination with the Anduril Lattice software platform team, algorithms, techniques and coding development to support orbital systems and their interfacing with multi-domain systems.

The Anduril orbital software capability development will ensure integration with legacy systems that have been part of our nation's critical defense for decades as well as new space systems being added to the cache of orbital and ground-based capabilities. The role will also be responsible for the interfaces to multi-modal payload platforms, bus platforms and networking solutions in proliferated satellite constellations We work with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC.
