About the role
Embedded software engineer role supporting next-generation radar seeker products, responsible for full-stack embedded development on ARM-based processors, with emphasis on embedded Linux, C++/Rust, and low-level hardware interfaces in a fast-paced defense environment.
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
Qualifications
- 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
