<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h3 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>About the Team</strong></h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Connected Warfare builds the systems that give warfighters a decisive edge in real time — command and control platforms like the Menace Family-of-Systems that fuse sensor data, communications, and autonomy into deployable hardware that works in contested environments. The firmware team is where the product meets reality. We write the code that runs closest to the hardware — the drivers, the protocols, the real-time control loops that make these systems work when it matters. If a new board comes in, we bring it to life. If something breaks at the hardware-software boundary, we find it and fix it. We move fast, ship often, and work directly alongside Electrical Engineering on some of the most complex autonomous systems being built anywhere.</p> <h3 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>About the Role</strong></h3> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We're looking for a senior firmware engineer who can own the full embedded stack for Connected Warfare systems — from first power-on to field deployment. You'll architect firmware for new platforms, make hard technical calls about drivers, protocols, and real-time behavior, and be the person the team turns to when a problem spans schematics, firmware, and software. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Electrical Engineering, mentor junior firmware engineers, and shape how the codebase scales as the product line grows. This is a role for someone who's done this before and wants to do it on hardware that matters.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own end-to-end firmware for Connected Warfare systems — from board bring-up and driver development through system integration and field testing</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Architect firmware solutions that are reusable, maintainable, and scalable across a growing product line</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop low-level drivers for sensors, peripherals, and communication interfaces</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Debug and resolve the hardest cross-boundary problems between hardware, firmware, and software</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Review schematics with Electrical Engineering and influence hardware design decisions from a firmware perspective</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Mentor and elevate other firmware engineers on the team</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Drive firmware architecture decisions and coding standards</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Required Qualifications</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">4+ years of professional firmware or embedded software development</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong C coding ability for embedded systems — this is your primary language, not a secondary skill</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Deep experience developing firmware in bare-metal and RTOS environments</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Hands-on experience with board bring-up, schematic review, and hardware-firmware integration</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Proficiency with bus protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB, RS232, or RS485)</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Experience debugging with JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-respo
