About the Company

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. Connected Warfare builds the systems that give warfighters a decisive edge in real time - command and control platforms like the Menace Family-of-Systems that fuse sensor data, communications, and autonomy into deployable hardware that works in contested environments. The firmware team is where the product meets reality. We write the code that runs closest to the hardware - the drivers, the protocols, the real-time control loops that make these systems work when it matters. If a new board comes in, we bring it to life. If something breaks at the hardware-software boundary, we find it and fix it. We move fast, ship often, and work directly alongside Electrical Engineering on some of the most complex autonomous systems being built anywhere. We're looking for a senior firmware engineer who can own the full embedded stack for Connected Warfare systems - from first power-on to field deployment. You'll architect firmware for new platforms, make hard technical calls about drivers, protocols, and real-time behavior, and be the person the team turns to when a problem spans schematics, firmware, and software. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Electrical Engineering, mentor junior firmware engineers, and shape how the codebase scales as the product line grows.

Responsibilities

  • ● Own end-to-end firmware for Connected Warfare systems - from board bring-up and driver development through system integration and field testing
  • ● Architect firmware solutions that are reusable, maintainable, and scalable across a growing product line
  • ● Develop low-level drivers for sensors, peripherals, and communication interfaces
  • ● Debug and resolve the hardest cross-boundary problems between hardware, firmware, and software
  • ● Review schematics with Electrical Engineering and influence hardware design decisions from a firmware perspective
  • ● Mentor and elevate other firmware engineers on the team
  • ● Drive firmware architecture decisions and coding standards
  • ● BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
  • ● 4+ years of professional firmware or embedded software development
  • ● Strong C coding ability for embedded systems - this is your primary language, not a secondary skill
  • ● Deep experience developing firmware in bare-metal and RTOS environments
  • ● Hands-on experience with board bring-up, schematic review, and hardware-firmware integration
  • ● Proficiency with bus protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB, RS232, or RS485)
  • ● Experience debugging with JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
  • ● Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

Requirements

  • ● Experience across multiple microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, RISC-V, etc.)
  • ● Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors
  • ● Track record of building firmware that shipped to production on real hardware
  • ● Experience mentoring or technically leading other firmware engineers
  • ● Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Bash) for test automation or tooling
  • ● Interest in defense technology and a bias for action - you see a problem, you fix it
  • ● No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates.
  • ● Please always verify communications:
  • ● Direct from Anduril: If you receive an email from one of our recruiters, it will only come from an @anduril.com address.

  • ● Exercise Caution with Unsolicited Outreach: If you receive any communication that appears suspicious, contains grammatical errors, or makes unusual requests, do not engage. Always confirm the sender's email domain is @anduril.com before providing any personal information or clicking on links.
  • ● What to Do If You Suspect Fraud: Should you encounter any questionable or fraudulent outreach claiming to be from Anduril, please report it immediately to [email protected] . Your proactive caution is invaluable in protecting your personal information and upholding the security and trustworthiness of our recruitment efforts.
