Senior Software Engineer, Compute Platform Integration

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

The Sentry Tower Software team develops robotic systems that provide force protection capabilities, monitoring the perimeter of secure areas, land or sea, for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels.

As a Senior Software Engineer, Compute Platform Integration, you will own the boot path end to end on every compute generation we ship: firmware, UEFI, the unified kernel image and its command line, initrd, encrypted root unlock, and the handoff into a fully running NixOS system.

Responsibilities:

• Own the boot path end to end on every compute generation we ship
• Guarantee full hardware availability at boot
• Own carrier board device trees
• Produce kernel, bootloader, and BSP patches
• Serve as our primary technical liaison to the platform organization
• Sustain deployed compute generations through vendor lifecycle transitions
• Support new hardware bring-up alongside electrical engineers and our platform team
• Debug the hard ones: intermittent bus errors, thermal and power-related faults, boot hangs, and failures that only reproduce on one unit in the field.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of professional software engineering with substantial embedded Linux platform, board support, or kernel-adjacent integration work
• Deep understanding of the embedded Linux boot chain
• Device tree fluency
• Ability to read, patch, and debug kernel and BSP source in C
• Practical peripheral and bus knowledge
• Comfort debugging real hardware
• Demonstrated success driving technical work through another team
• US person status required, with eligibility to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.
