Sr. Mission Software Engineer - Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike

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

As a Sr. Mission Software Engineer - Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike, you will be responsible for debugging and fixing issues with autonomous underwater/surface vehicles.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Taking field-reported anomalies and figuring out what subsystem they are actually in
• Reproducing issues for real using metrics and log infrastructure
• Confirming fixes in a simulated environment before they go near a real vehicle
• Writing fixes in languages such as Rust, C++, Python, Go
• Figuring out whether the actual problem is a bug, a bad config, or a deployment mismatch
• Writing down root cause and fix for every issue closed

Requirements:

• Real experience debugging code under time pressure with incomplete information
• Comfort in at least two of Rust, modern C++, Python, Go
• Systems-debugging instincts
• Exposure to observability tooling
• Linux and systems fluency
• Ability to write up what actually happened clearly
• Willingness to work close to hardware and sensors

Nice to have:

• Robotics middleware, sensor drivers, or real-time data pipeline experience
• Time in simulation-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop test setups
• CI/CD and versioned deployment experience for embedded or fleet software
• Actual on-call or field-support experience for hardware

This is a real entry point, not a holding pen. Do this well and you'll know more of the stack than most people who joined doing greenfield feature work , and that's exactly who ends up owning subsystems and driving roadmap next.
