Job description

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

The Connected Warfare Division builds mission-critical systems that enable global command and control for time-sensitive, multi-domain operations. By fusing robotics, sensor networks, and advanced software, we create high-performance, resilient software for autonomous systems and interconnected mesh ecosystems that empower our military partners with a comprehensive source of truth for rapid decision-making. 

The Edge Compute and Comms (ECC) Engineering team, you will rapidly prototype and create new products and solutions to address a wide variety of customer problems involving software, hardware, networking, autonomy/robotics, systems integration, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that Anduril products seamlessly work together to achieve a variety of critical outcomes. You will work on new technology introduction and enhancing products like the Menace Family of Systems to bring integrated C4 (Compute, Comms, Command, and Control) capabilities to the tactical edge.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Engineering Manager for the Edge Compute and Communication group, you will lead a high-performing team that leverages cutting-edge technologies like Rust and C++ to deliver complex, high-impact software systems that operate with extreme efficiency and reliability at the tactical edge. You’ll be instrumental in shaping architectures optimized for resource-constrained environments, ensuring seamless communication and compute across our distributed network. You will be responsible for building the team’s culture, driving execution, and ensuring software quality and mission success. You’ll partner with cross-functional leadership—including seasoned engineers and product managers—to balance rapid delivery with robust, scalable architecture, always anchoring decisions in the realities of connected warfare.

A Note on This Role: This is an Engineering Manager role focused on both technical (opinionated about architecture, reliability, performance and quality, especially for low-level systems programming and distributed edge deployments) and non-technical (people, process, and project leadership).
