Robotics Software Engineer - Tower - Manufacturing

Irvine, California, 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

The Sentry Tower Software team is responsible for developing robotic systems that provide force protection capabilities, monitoring the perimeter of secure areas, land or sea, for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels. We live in a world where security officers are increasingly overwhelmed by sensor data feeds. Our products leverage advanced sensor fusion and autonomy to seamlessly render activity in the environment to Lattice's common operating picture.

We are looking for a Software Engineer with a focus in Manufacturing to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa. In this role you will be responsible for building and maintaining software for current and next generation Sentry Tower systems. You will be responsible for developing automated test suites and user-friendly interfaces to streamline hardware verification and issue diagnosis for non-technical users. You will implement robust error-capturing mechanisms that provide actionable insights for efficient troubleshooting and quality assurance.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Develop automated test suites to verify hardware functionality and performance.
• Create user-friendly interfaces to facilitate issue diagnosis for non-technical users.
• Implement robust error-capturing mechanisms to provide actionable insights.
• Collaborate with hardware and quality assurance teams to ensure seamless integration of testing tools.
• Continuously improve testing frameworks to enhance efficiency and reliability.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Proficiency in full robotics system stack, from integrating sensor technology to robotic movement actuation. Partial stack is okay.
• 2+ years working with Rust or C++.
• Solid grasp of networking principles, including CAN and Ethernet protocols, along with expertise in hardware interfacing, diagnostic tools (e.g., Wireshark, CANoe), and cybersecurity principles as they pertain to secure and reliable sensor data transmission.
• Demonstrated experience in designing and building software solutions for high-volume data processing and sophisticated sensor data analysis.
• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

SPECIFIC FOCUS

• Develop automated test suites and user-friendly interfaces to streamline hardware verification and issue diagnosis for non-technical users.
• Implement robust error-capturing mechanisms that provide actionable insights for efficient troubleshooting and quality assurance.
