Senior Embedded Software Engineer

About This Role

This engineering role focuses on embedded software development for next-generation radar seeker products, which are critical components for weapon systems. The work involves full-stack embedded development, from application-level code to low-level driver software, enabling rapid deployment of capabilities for military applications. It is suited for a self-directed engineer who thrives in fast-paced, small-team environments and is passionate about developing defense technology.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy embedded software across the full stack, from application-level code on embedded processor cores down to drivers and low-level mechanisms controlling hardware
• Develop and maintain embedded Linux software for radar seeker systems using modern C++ and/or Rust
• Write device drivers and firmware that interface with hardware over SPI, I2C, UART, and other low-level buses for data transfer and peripheral control
• Perform hardware-software integration, board bring-up, and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and RF/digital test equipment
• Spend significant time on-site at Anduril facilities (weeks at a time) supporting integration, field testing, and real-world validation of products
• Collaborate closely with electrical, RF, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver fully functional products
• Troubleshoot complex issues that span the electrical and software boundaries
• Operate autonomously within a small, fast-paced team, driving development from concept through deployment without hand-holding

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
• Professional experience developing embedded software for production systems
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ and/or Rust
• Demonstrated expertise in embedded Linux development
• Experience with ARM processors and traditional microprocessor architectures
• Experience writing device drivers and low-level software interfacing with hardware peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.)
• Hands-on competence with digital test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers
• Self-directed working style with ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced environment with minimal oversight
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information

Nice to have:

• Experience with radar systems, signal processing, or RF sensing applications
• Background in seeker development, missile/munitions systems, or other tactical defense products
• Experience with RF test equipment such as VNAs, signal analyzers, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers
• Familiarity with bootloaders, Board Support Packages (BSP), and RTOS environments
• Experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204)
• Comfort with typical C++ tooling (CMake, GDB, Valgrind, etc.) and CI/CD workflows
• Experience with Python for test automation and scripting
• Familiarity with reproducible build systems such as Nix/NixOS
• Background working at the hardware-software boundary (board bring-up, integration, field testing)
• Prior experience in defense, aerospace, or other high-reliability embedded domains

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers
• Top-tier comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures support in health, recovery, and whatever comes next
