Anduril · Costa Mesa, California, United States · $129,000-$171,000 USD · onsite

We're 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.

Responsibilities:

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
