## Description

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

We are looking for Flight Software Engineers to join our rapidly growing team!

As an entry-level engineer, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside industry experts in one of our critical areas: Flight Software (FSW), Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), and Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MSA).

**Responsibilities**

- Assist in the design and development of flight software algorithms, GNC systems, or simulation models.

- Participate in the integration and testing of software/hardware components in lab, ground, or flight tests.

- Analyze data collected from simulations and flight test events to inform system improvements.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address engineering challenges and enhance system performance.

- Engage in creative problem-solving to advance our UAS and missile technologies.

**Required Qualifications**

- Must be pursuing or have recently completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities; U.S. clearance eligibility may be required depending on program.

- Able to start full time in 2027.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- A strong foundation in software development (for FSW candidates), control theory (for GNC candidates), or analytical modeling (for MSA candidates).

- Keen interest in autonomous systems, UAS, and missile technology.

- Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

- Hands-on experience with Design-Build-Fly teams, robotics competition teams (such as FIRST or VEX), or collegiate rocketry groups.

- Credible demonstration of aerospace-related hobbies such as high-power rocketry experience/certification, remotely piloted/semi-autonomous aircraft, or software integration on target hardware such as Raspberry Pi, Pixhawk, CubePilot (such as Cube Orange), or custom microcontrollers, using onboard IMU, GNSS, and Flight Simulation, Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulation environments.

- Experience with open-source autopilot software suites like ArduPilot or PX4.

- Experience with integrating flight hardware components including servos/actuators, IMUs, magnetometers, GNSS receivers and antennas, and serial communication protocols (such as UART, CAN, I2C, SPI) or radio telemetry links.

- Basic familiarity with electrical test equipment (such as multimeters or oscilloscopes) and post-flight data analysis using tools like Python or MATLAB.

**Benefits**

- Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.

- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
