Job description

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

At Anduril, our Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team specializes in solving complex, real-world problems through cutting‑edge algorithms and intelligent software integrations. Operating in small, innovative teams, we push the boundaries of what’s possible to deliver advanced technologies with mission‑critical applications. Our commitment doesn’t end with academic research or proof‑of-concept experiments; we measure our success by the real-world impact of our deployed solutions. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s vision — "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" —

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking to hire a Senior Systems Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Broomfield, CO and Waltham, MA. The Battlespace Awareness team develops tactical sense‑and decision‑making software that provides advanced capabilities for Anduril’s command and control (C2) products. This software must work with various combinations of compute hardware, connected sensor/effector hardware, and supporting software services. Proving that software is robust to variations in scenario, configuration, and mission set is a responsibility this team owns end‑to‑end.

In this senior role, you’ll be hands‑on across that whole pipeline — running our software through simulated scenarios, building performance analyses, red‑teaming through scenario design, and creating the tooling so that engineers and customers understand system behavior — while also setting technical direction, raising the bar on engineering rigor, and mentoring less experienced engineers. This is a build‑measure‑analyze role for someone who has done it before at scale and can bring that judgment to a fast‑moving team. If you like writing software that turns messy, real‑world data into a clear answer, you’ll have plenty to do.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, run, and analyze scenarios. Exercise our software across simulated and real‑world data sets, then build the Python analysis that turns the output into performance results people can act on.
• Define and own the metrics strategy. Establish the measures of system success, instrument them, and track them as the system evolves to inform engineering decisions and product roadmap.
• Lead customer demonstrations. Build and configure simulation scenarios to showcase system performance in customer‑facing demos, and represent the team’s technical judgment directly to customers.
• Characterize and explain system behavior. Diagnose the behavior of individual system components and emergent behaviors that arise from interactions of multiple systems, at a depth that informs architectural decisions.
• Build the tools. Develop new data analysis and observability tooling, often from a blank page, and drive automation of the system through CI/CD infrastructure.
• Set direction across the seams. Partner with algorithm and software engineers to troubleshoot and optimize across the system, and mentor other engineers on integration and test best practices.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of software engineering or software systems integration and test experience. Degree in Engineering, Physics, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Strong Python skills for data parsing, analysis, and visualization
• Ability to read and reason about C++ or Rust (writing it full-time is not required)
• Demonstrated track record developing new data analysis and observability tools from the ground up
• Deep exposure to kinematics modeling and simulation frameworks (AFSIM or comparable)
• Skilled in statistical analysis techniques such as Monte Carlo techniques
• Demonstrated experience developing CI/CD pipelines, metrics, and test fixtures for software evaluation at scale
• Demonstrated experience applying engineering standards into engineering processes or requirements, and shaping those standards for a team
• Proven experience leading collaboration across cross‑functional teams
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly to developers, system leads, and customers, including in high‑stakes or executive settings
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and challenging problems, and helping others navigate the same
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Up to 25% travel to customer sites.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Familiarity with Linux OS.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Past experience with DevOps
• Familiarity with processes and constraints for real‑time and safety‑critical software.
• Experience with state estimation, sensor management and Kalman filters.
• Prior experience writing and testing Rust / C++ software.
• Deep understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
• Prior leadership role in field exercises, test events, experimentation campaigns.
• Previous experience in a defense, aerospace, or naval environment.
• Experience with any of the following: robotics, autonomous systems, radar, optics, computer vision, wireless communication, software defined radios, networking, missile defense

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self‑identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Anduril Industries’ Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment effort we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

• A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service‑connected disability.
• A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three‑year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
• An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
• An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
