Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Data Engineering, to build data systems powering intelligent manufacturing scheduling and optimization at multiple U.S. sites.

You will generate precedence graphs from 3D geometry and BOMs, and create optimization engines that replan production schedules in minutes when disruptions occur on the factory floor. You will collaborate with manufacturing engineers, implement data access layers for CAD-based features, and deploy systems in edge

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience building production systems.
• Strong foundations in algorithms, data structures and computational complexity.
• Fluency in APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, and cloud/edge infrastructure.
• Proficiency in Python, Java, Scala, C++, or Rust for data engineering.
• Experience with computational geometry, graphs, or numerical optimization techniques.
• Experience operating reliable systems in high-availability, low-latency environments.
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, Operations Research, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• U.S. Person status is required to access export controlled data.

Responsibilities

• Build high-performance data processing systems that replan production schedules within 10 minutes when disruptions occur.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineers to translate workflows into software requirements.
• Write production-quality code with tests and participate in code reviews.
• Design data access layers for computational geometry on CAD models.
• Develop graph algorithms modeling dependencies, constraints, and optimization objectives.
• Integrate data from PLM, ERP, MES, and CAD/CAM systems for scheduling foundations.
• Deploy and operate systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters.
• Implement and optimize constraint solvers (e.g., MIP, CP, SAT) and numerical optimization for scheduling.
• Leverage AI tooling in development workflows and participate in on-call rotations.
• Monitor scheduling performance to maintain sub-10-minute replanning at scale.
