Senior Mission Software Engineer, EW

Job description

Anduril's Electronic Warfare (EW) division builds next-generation electronic warfare platforms — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems operating at scale in contested environments. The team recently secured an $85M contract (first tranche of $125M) awarded in under 24 hours from funding, delivered 30 novel system configurations into active combat in under a week, and earned a unanimous fielding recommendation from government evaluators. Production is scaling from hundreds to thousands of units, and the software challenges are scaling with it.

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

Job responsibilities

  • Own and drive the technical direction for one or more critical areas of the EW software stack
  • Architect and implement solutions that work reliably in production, at scale, and in contested operational environments
  • Debug complex cross-system issues spanning embedded software, networking, applications, and deployed infrastructure
  • Develop high-performance software — whether that's numerical algorithms for RF data, deployment automation, Lattice integration services, or operator tools
  • Drive engineering quality through architectural review, code review, testing strategy, and operational practices
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, raising the bar for the team's technical capabilities
  • Work directly with customers and operators to understand mission requirements and translate them into engineering priorities
  • Collaborate with embedded software, DSP/RFML, systems architecture, and growth teams

Job requirements

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong proficiency in at least two of: Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas:
  • Embedded systems, real-time systems, or hardware/software interfaces
  • Backend services, distributed systems, or data infrastructure
  • Deployment systems, CI/CD, configuration management, or infrastructure-as-code
  • Systems integration, networking, or system-of-systems architecture
  • Experience with Linux systems at a production level (administration, debugging, performance)
