Director of Software, Radar

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 Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops innovative and differentiated radar solutions to tackle significant security challenges for America and its allies. We are looking for highly collaborative leaders who will bring significant expertise, experience, and energy to the team's endeavors.

Anduril is seeking an experienced Software Director to lead the Battlespace Radar Software team. The ideal candidate is a proven technical leader who can set vision, build and scale high‑performing teams, and deliver mission‑critical software across our radar product portfolio. This role requires a rare blend of deep technical expertise across embedded systems, signal processing, and edge software, paired with the leadership skills to drive execution across multiple programs and heterogeneous hardware platforms.

You will own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery for all software running on our radar systems—from FPGA‑adjacent firmware integration and embedded Linux platforms to signal processing pipelines, fleet deployment, and operational tooling. You will partner closely with hardware, firmware, systems, and program leadership to bring next‑generation radar capabilities to the field.

• Technical Leadership & Vision:
  Define and execute the software strategy and architectural roadmap for the radar product line, ensuring alignment with broader Anduril platform goals, mission needs, and customer requirements.
• Team Building & Management:
  Recruit, mentor, and grow a world‑class software organization spanning embedded systems, signal processing, edge deployment, and Dev Sec Ops . Build a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and rapid execution.
• Program Execution & Delivery:
  Own end‑to‑end software delivery across multiple radar programs, including planning, resourcing, milestone tracking, and risk management. Ensure on‑time delivery of high‑quality, field‑deployable software.
• Cross‑Functional Partnership:
  Collaborate with hardware, firmware, RF, systems engineering, product, and program management leaders to ensure seamless integration of software with radar hardware and broader Anduril systems (e.g., Lattice).
• Edge Software & Dev Sec Ops :
  Drive the strategy for deploying, managing, and securing software running on embedded, heterogeneous processors within our radar systems—including fleet‑wide updates for devices with intermittent or contested connectivity.
• Security & Compliance (Dev Sec Ops ):
  Champion security best practices across the software lifecycle, including STIG compliance, kernel hardening (ASLR, CFI, secure boot), software supply chain security, and robust controls on embedded hardware. Ensure programs meet customer and regulatory cybersecurity requirements.
• CI/CD & Developer Productivity:
  Set the direction for CI/CD infrastructure (e.g., Circle
  
  CI) and developer tooling that enables rapid, reliable build, test, and deployment of software to edge devices.
• Operating Systems & Platforms:
  Guide the strategy for embedded Linux distributions (Yocto, NixOS) optimized for performance, reliability, and security on ARM and GPU architectures.
• Heterogeneous Architecture Strategy:
  Lead software execution across our diverse hardware platform, including:
  • Nvidia Jetson:
    Deployment, optimization, and management of software on Nvidia Jetson GPUs.
  • FPGAs:
    Integration with HDL firmware for FPGAs (Altera Agilex, Xilinx Ultrascale) and C++ applications for soft…
