Software Engineer - Simulation Integrations

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

Anduril's TRS Simulation team owns the ecosystem, frameworks, and guidance that make simulation possible, repeatable, and scalable across the Tactical Recon & Strike business line. The Sim Integrations sub-team is the connective tissue between the simulation platform and the programs that depend on it.

As a Software Engineer - Simulation Integrations, you will serve as the primary simulation point of contact for TRS programs, translating program-specific simulation requirements into actionable technical plans and owning delivery end-to-end. You will identify deltas between existing simulation capabilities and program needs, then coordinate across Sim Infrastructure, Sim Fidelity, and functional engineering teams to close those gaps.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary simulation point of contact for TRS programs, translating program-specific simulation requirements into actionable technical plans and owning delivery end-to-end.
• Identify deltas between existing simulation capabilities and program needs, then coordinate across Sim Infrastructure, Sim Fidelity, and functional engineering teams to close those gaps.
• Configure, extend, and validate simulation environments across the full stack, from autonomy and sensor configurations to networking and deployment infrastructure.
• Support field events, customer demos, and program milestone deliverables with hands-on simulation expertise and rapid troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with program managers and systems engineers to align simulation fidelity levels with program priorities, using our team's fidelity rubric to drive investment where it has the most impact.
• Develop reusable patterns and documentation so that program-specific solutions feed back into the platform and reduce the cost of the next integration.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3+ years of professional software engineering experience in an industry setting, with hands-on delivery of software to internal or external customers.
• Proficiency across multiple programming languages (C++, Python, Bash) with the versatility to pick up whatever the problem demands.
• Strong Linux/Unix fundamentals: comfortable navigating systems, debugging across layers of the stack, and working in terminal-driven workflows.
• Working understanding of networking concepts (protocols, routing, network debugging) sufficient to troubleshoot distributed simulation environments.
• Comfortable with the professional software development lifecycle from start to finish.
• Experience working directly with customers, program teams, or stakeholders to translate requirements into delivered capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritize effectively, and deliver under real deadlines.
• 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.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with simulation frameworks, real-time systems, or robotics platforms.
• Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (Nix, Docker, CI/CD systems).
• Experience with NixOS or declarative system configuration.
• Familiarity with field deployment, customer demos, or operational support for software systems.
• Experience creating or maintaining software-in-the-loop (SITL) test environments.
• Ability to context-switch effectively across diverse technical domains without losing quality.
• A bias toward rapid delivery and iteration.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Income protection: life and disability insurance.
• Generous time off: highly competitive PTO plans with a holiday hiatus in December.
• Family planning and parenting support.
• Mental health resources.
• Professional development: annual reimbursement.
• Commuter benefits.
• Relocation assistance.
• Retirement savings plan.
