We're seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to join our team based in Costa Mesa, CA. The firmware team at Anduril develops core technology used across multiple products such as Menace, Dive-XL, Ghost, and Roadrunner. We work in close coordination with Electrical Engineering to develop hardware and software solutions to some of the hardest problems facing our customers.

As a Senior Firmware Engineer, you will contribute low-level firmware development for systems operating on land, sea, and air. You will design and implement highly efficient, resource-constrained firmware solutions that interface directly with hardware at the register level for maximum performance and precision.

Responsibilities:

- Develop low-level firmware/software for microcontrollers, create reusable device drivers, integrate system-level features and architect changes to support an ever-growing codebase

- Own complex firmware features of an embedded system

- Quickly debug and troubleshoot issues that span the electrical, firmware, and software boundaries

- Help select microcontrollers and peripherals and review schematics with electrical engineering team

- Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages

Requirements:

- BS or MS in CS/CE/EE or equivalent industry experience

- Experience: 5+ years of experience in firmware/embedded software development, with a focus on embedded systems

- Strong C coding ability for embedded systems

- Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors

- Experience developing firmware in bare-metal or RTOS environments

- Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, Oscilloscopes, and Logic analyzers

- Deep practical experience with direct register manipulation and low-level hardware access to configure and control microcontroller peripherals and GPIO

- Solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring up and debugging

- Solid experience with common bus protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, etc.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)

- Have a bias for action. If you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it

- Be naturally curious about the technologies and tools you use
