Requirements

  • A Bachelor of Science or Master of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.
  • At least 8 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong C coding ability for embedded systems.
  • Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors.
  • Experience developing firmware in bare-metal, real-time operating system (RTOS) environments, and embedded Linux.
  • A solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring-up, and debugging.
  • Familiarity with common bus protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, and Ethernet.

  • Build device-side validation capability for system-level features using SSH and gRPC, while creating or leveraging existing debug tools.
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues across electrical, firmware, and software boundaries, and transfer the process to automated test and failure-analysis standard operating procedures for production-line staff.
  • Participate in design-for-test and design-for-manufacturing reviews with electrical engineering and product firmware teams.
  • Debug complex data-acquisition challenges in analog and digital domains.
  • Improve test automation, throughput, user interfaces, and data analytics.

Desired Qualifications

  • At least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Bring-up and debugging expertise for new designs, including low- and high-speed interfaces.
  • Strong fundamentals in data acquisition and analysis, including fast Fourier transforms, Bode analysis, and control loops.
  • Experience with one or more microcontroller cores, such as ARM, AVR, MSP430, or PIC.
  • Experience with embedded Linux development and deployment.
  • Debugging experience with JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
