From Anduril's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
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 Firmware to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine. In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining software for current and next-generation Sentry Tower systems. This will include interacting with stakeholders like Anduril’s business lines of Air Defense and Counter Intrusion all the way from internal engineering customers to the people in the field, prioritizing what matters to them in the long run.
Firmware is the layer with the least margin for error in the product. It runs on the sensor boards and motor controllers that make a tower move and sense, on hardware that sits outdoors for months without a service visit, and it is the part hardest to fix once a unit is fielded. A bug in a service can be patched in an update; a bug in firmware can mean a tower that has to be reached in person.
The honest version: you are joining an existing firmware platform, not starting one. There is a working baselayer that our towers already run on, and the work is the specialized projects that sit on top of it or replace parts of it, which means reading and understanding code you did not write before you are allowed to be confident about changing it. That is slower and less glamorous than a clean sheet, and it is the actual job.
The feedback loop is also slower than in application software, and the discipline the role rewards is caution: getting it right before it ships, because the cost of being wrong is measured in trips to a site rather than in a redeploy.
