Software Engineer, Surface Dominance

About the Role

Software Engineers independently drive the delivery of a variety of software integrated into products. This includes autonomy, simulation, data processing, payload integration, and off-board command and control and decision support. Software Engineers are expected to demonstrate end-to-end outcome ownership at the major subsystem or system level. They contribute as a technical lead to the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next-generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.

What You’ll Do

• Empathize with end-users and drive solutions that balance their needs with external constraints, restrictions, and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
• Own software-enabled solutions that are deployed to customers, optimizing for the delivery of value to the end-user.
• Design and implement scalable software that rapidly delivers capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time.
• Contribute to the design and development of existing software services across Anduril, with the aim of developing components that are re-usable across multiple Anduril product lines.
• Develop software that runs on- and off- robotic platforms, using a variety of technologies.
• Contribute to the design, implementation, and execution of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of vehicle and mission software, including full lifecycle testing, monitoring, and operation.
• Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop.
• Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment.
• Work as a member of a multi-disciplinary engineering team, including as a mentor for Software Engineers from differing backgrounds.
• Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
• Extensive professional experience working as a Software Engineer with one or more domains and/or technologies of expertise.
• Systems and/or application programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency, scaling, testing, infrastructure, software design, and system design.
• Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems.
• Capacity to work holistically on software-enabled capabilities up and down the software stack and through the lifecycle through design, implementation, operation, and sustainment.
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution.
• Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a role for the delivery of a military mission system.
• Experience writing backend services or embedded software in C++, Rust and/or Go.
• Experience writing frontend applications using Typescript and React.
• Experience with the design, implementation, and operation of horizontally scaled cloud technologies.
• Experience with the design, implementation, and support of embedded software, particularly in the field of robotics.
• Experience with modeling and simulation.
• Experience with development of high assurance safety critical software.
• Experience within the product delivery lifecycle including manufacturing, system acceptance, deployment, and sustainment.
• Familiarity with Systems Engineering concepts.
• Desire to learn and grow into other roles that require experience as a Software Engineer, such as Sr. Software Engineer and/or Staff Software Engineer.
• Desire to grow into a Tech-Lead-Manager role, with responsibility for line management of engineers, in addition to delivery.
