By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Intelligence Systems (AIS) is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and deliver exquisite capability across their problem set. We aim to develop and deploy critically needed capabilities that address our customers’ most pressing national security requirements.

ABOUT THE JOB

At Anduril, our ability to deliver cutting-edge defense products at scale depends on our ability to build world-class manufacturing systems. As more of our products move from prototype to production, the ability to manufacture at high rate, with precision and speed, is a strategic advantage. We are committed to developing Forge, our in-house Manufacturing Execution System (MES), into a world-class solution that enhances our production capabilities.

We’re seeking a highly motivated Software Engineer with a minimum Secret clearance to join a fast-paced team dedicated to a greenfield project within Forge.

You will collaborate across multiple geographic locations with a talented team of engineers, product managers, and other cross-functional teams to build and enhance this critical system.

More specifically, you’ll be building a modular, scalable Test Execution Platform that’ll plug into the core of our manufacturing operations (think of event-driven communication between hardware test rigs & internal applications). This platform solution will power mission-critical workflows such as: test orchestration, machine-to-app messaging, high-throughput data streaming from edge devices to internal systems.

To succeed on this team you will need to be curious, an excellent communicator, of a strong product mindset, be able to go from idea to implementation, and take ownership and pride in your work.
