Senior Real-Time Rust Software Engineer

Anduril Industries, Inc.; Waltham, Northern (MA, KY); Hybrid; USD 146,000 - 194,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries seeks a software engineer to build real-time, sensor-data driven systems. You will design and evolve high-performance Rust code for tracking and state estimation across multiple sensors, influencing architecture and production systems.

The role requires 5+ years in software engineering, a technical degree, and eligibility for a U.S. security clearance. Salary range is $146,000–$194,000 per year, with equity and competitive benefits typical of full-time roles.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience; Bachelor's degree in a technical field.
• 2+ years working on a single codebase or product, maintaining and expanding it as requirements evolved.
• Strong understanding of software design patterns, architectural principles, and best practices.
• Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling; experience with Rust, C/C++, Python, and Matlab is a plus.
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
• Knowledge of signal processing techniques for interpreting diverse sensor data (e.g., radar, lidar, EO/IR).
• Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and large-scale sensor data handling.
• Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
• Experience across the development lifecycle from prototyping to production systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
• Architect, maintain, and evolve complex software systems, refactoring legacy code for performance and scalability.
• Prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking, sensor fusion, and state estimation in agile environments.
• Develop high-performance Rust software for real-time systems ranging from tactical implementations to simulation tools.
• Design and implement robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning from noisy sensor data.
• Apply design patterns and best practices to manage technical debt and guide production systems evolution.
• Analyze system performance with simulations and modeling tools to validate tech benefits.
• Drive customer success by tailoring algorithms for mission-critical tracking use cases.
• Integrate tracking and estimation tech into the broader software lifecycle from requirements to testing.
