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
