Embedded Software Engineer, EW
Slope, Costa Mesa, CA, United States
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril's Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) team is seeking experienced embedded software engineers to build out the software ecosystem supporting a next‑generation electromagnetic warfare platform. You'll develop correct, secure, high‑reliability embedded software in Rust for controlling electromagnetic warfare assets, both on Linux (NixOS) and in bare‑metal/RTOS environments using async frameworks like Embassy and RTIC. You will collaborate with Electrical, RF, and Programmable Logic (PL) engineers to build high‑performance hardware/software interfaces, and work with the wider software organization to integrate electromagnetic warfare products with the Anduril Lattice system‑of‑systems suite. The role also includes building Linux‑side CLI tools in Rust for calibration, deployment, and diagnostics, and applying state‑of‑the‑art software construction techniques to rapidly deploy cutting‑edge capabilities to our customers.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Participate in system design, part selection, and schematic reviews for product revisions and greenfield products
Write and maintain device drivers for microcontroller peripherals and external ICs
Implement bootloaders and over‑the‑air (OTA) update mechanisms
Build deterministic, reproducible firmware builds and configuration management for deployment, guaranteeing software traceability
Test software using unit, software‑in‑the‑loop (SITL), hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HITL), and system‑level methodologies
Use software debugging tools (probe‑rs, OpenOCD, GDB/LLDB) and hardware debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering)
Collaborate with FPGA/PL engineers on register interfaces and hardware/software integration
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
2+ years professional experience in embedded software and/or firmware engineering
Strong proficiency in Rust for embedded systems, including no_std and embedded-hal ecosystem
Comfortable working with microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, etc.) and data bus types (AXI, USB, etc.)
Excellent technical communication and collaboration skills
Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. TS security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with embedded async Rust frameworks (Embassy, RTIC)
Proficiency in C for reading and interfacing with vendor HALs and legacy codebases
Experience with software‑defined digital radio systems
Experience with industry standards bodies or open‑source communities
Experience measuring and enhancing performance related to speed, size, power consumption, and cost
Experience with Nix/NixOS
Understanding of functional programming languages like Haskell
