Description

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 Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) is a division with two missions: 1) build highly capable autonomous drones, and 2) build solid rocket motors at scale. We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high-volume production methods—delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers & hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from autonomous aerial systems to high-performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment. THE ROLE This position is on the TRS Core Infrastructure team and will be focused on building the infrastructure to field TRS Products such as Altius, Ghost, Bolt and Anvil. Our charter is to provide the foundation for teams across Anduril to deploy cutting edge TRS autonomy and to tie it all together into an easy-to-use product. The solutions that you will create address the current needs of our customers and will have immediate impact towards the success of our products. WHAT YOU'LL DO Design, build, test, and release the testing infrastructure used during development & validation of Anduril Products including Software in the Loop (SITL) and Hardware in the Loop (HITL). Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate automated testing best practices into the software development lifecycle. Build tools in C++ to facilitate development, testing, and release. Develop and maintain continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Interface with engineers developing every aspect of the system from low-level Linux drivers to cutting edge autonomy and streamlined user interfaces. Ensure that the testing infrastructure is robust and ready to facilitate the rapid development needed to keep pace with emerging product needs. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as C++, Python, Rust, Go, etc. Want to work on building the tools that engineers and technicians will use to ensure that Anduril products are ready to be deployed. Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. CircleCI, Docker, NixOS, Terraform). Are passionate about developer experience and always strive to provide the most streamlined testing pipeline. Have an intuition for finding solutions to complex problems that involve multiple first and third party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more). Enjoy collaborating with team members and partners in the autonomy domain, and building technologies and processes which enable engineers to rapidly develop and test autonomous systems at scale. Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS You've built or invented something: an app, a website, game, startup. Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc. Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, etc. A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node (UDP, TCP, gRPC, REST, etc.). Experience working with game engines such as Unreal Engine or Unity, including backend development and visual asset pipelines. Experience creating automated Software in the Loop (SITL) and Hardware in the Loop (HITL) tests for robotics or embedded products. Experience building scalable backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements. Experience with industry standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems). Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases. Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process. Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices. A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration.
