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.

- 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

- 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
