Senior Firmware Engineer (RTOS)

Anduril is 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 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.

You'll contribute low level firmware development for systems operating on land, sea, and air.

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

- 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

Design, implement, and optimize real-time applications within an RTOS environment, managing tasks, threads, and inter-process communication for deterministic system behavior.

Architect robust and fault-tolerant software using RTOS primitives such as mutexes, semaphores, message queues, and event flags to handle concurrency and resource sharing effectively.

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

Extensive experience with popular RTOS platforms (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, RTX, ThreadX) and a strong understanding of real-time scheduling algorithms and task management.

- 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.

- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

- 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
