Mission Software Engineer, Vehicle Software, Communications

The role

You will build core Command and Control software for the Lattice platform. This involves software for vehicles managing real-time telemetry and autopilot tasks, as well as Ground Control Station software for mission planning and fleet management.

What you will do

• Build core Command and Control software for the Lattice platform
• Bridge the gap between hardware and human operators
• Develop software for vehicles managing real-time telemetry, health, and autopilot tasks
• Develop Ground Control Station software for mission planning, map visualization, and fleet management
• Integrate GenAI agents into systems for natural language interfaces
• Integrate autonomous systems with military radio links
• Build robust link-switching logic for degraded RF environments
• Design and implement failure modes for lost-comms scenarios

Required qualifications

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field
• 3+ years of production-grade C++ and/or Rust experience in a Linux development environment
• Integrate autonomous systems with military radio links such as Link 16 and other third-party waveforms
• Build robust link-switching logic that keeps the mission running through degraded RF environments
• Design and implement failure modes for lost-comms scenarios so vehicles act decisively when the link drops
• Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
• A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact
• Travel up to 30% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world

Nice to have

• Strong background with focus in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Motion Planning to inform modeling & simulation (M&S) and physical systems
• Developing and testing multi-agent autonomous systems and deploying in real-world environments
• Feature and algorithm development with an understanding of behavior trees
• Developing software/hardware for flight systems and safety critical functionality
• Distributed communication networks and message standards
• Knowledge of military systems and operational tactics

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• Consent to Anduril Industries using a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening
