Senior Firmware Engineer, Connected Warfare
Job description
Connected Warfare builds the systems that give warfighters a decisive edge in real time — command and control platforms like the Menace Family-of-Systems that fuse sensor data, communications, and autonomy into deployable hardware that works in contested environments. The firmware team is where the product meets reality. We write the code that runs closest to the hardware — the drivers, the protocols, the real-time control loops that make these systems work when it matters. If a new board comes in, we bring it to life. If something breaks at the hardware-software boundary, we find it and fix it.
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S.
Job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end firmware for Connected Warfare systems — from board bring-up and driver development through system integration and field testing
- Architect firmware solutions that are reusable, maintainable, and scalable across a growing product line
- Develop low-level drivers for sensors, peripherals, and communication interfaces
- Debug and resolve the hardest cross-boundary problems between hardware, firmware, and software
- Review schematics with Electrical Engineering and influence hardware design decisions from a firmware perspective
- Mentor and elevate other firmware engineers on the team
- Drive firmware architecture decisions and coding standards
Job requirements
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
- 4+ years of professional firmware or embedded software development
- Strong C coding ability for embedded systems — this is your primary language, not a secondary skill
- Deep experience developing firmware in bare-metal and RTOS environments
- Hands-on experience with board bring-up, schematic review, and hardware-firmware integration
- Proficiency with bus protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB, RS232, or RS485)
- Experience debugging with JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities
