Radar-Grade Embedded Software Engineer — C++/Rust, Linux

Anduril Industries; Costa Mesa (CA); On-site; USD 191,000 - 253,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer in Costa Mesa, CA to own full‑stack embedded development for radar seeker products. You will work on ARM‑based cores, drivers, and low‑level software, with embedded Linux and modern C++/Rust, in a fast‑paced defense tech environment.

The role requires hands‑on hardware/software integration, on‑site support, and collaboration with hardware, RF, firmware, and systems engineers to mature prototypes into fielded products.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
• Professional experience developing embedded software for production systems.
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ and/or Rust.
• Demonstrated expertise in embedded Linux development.
• Experience with ARM processors and traditional microprocessor architectures.
• Experience writing device drivers and low‑level software interfacing with hardware peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.).
• Hands‑on competence with digital test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy embedded software across the full stack — from application‑level code on embedded processor cores down to drivers and low‑level mechanisms controlling hardware.
• Develop and maintain embedded Linux software for radar seeker systems using modern C++ and/or Rust.
• Write device drivers and firmware that interface with hardware over SPI, I2C, UART, and other low‑level buses for data transfer and peripheral control.
• Perform hardware‑software integration, board bring‑up, and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and RF/digital test equipment.
• Spend significant time on‑site at Anduril facilities (weeks at a time) supporting integration, field testing, and real‑world validation of products.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, RF, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver fully functional products.
• Troubleshoot complex issues that span the electrical and software boundaries.
• Operate autonomously within a small, fast‑paced team — driving development from concept through deployment without hand‑holding.
