Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
Sentry Towers are robotic systems: motors, cameras, radars, radios, and sensor boards, running on NVIDIA Jetson compute in the field. Verifying that a system like this works means accounting for physical actuation, real sensor data, and hardware that fails in ways no unit test anticipates. We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own our simulation and hardware test infrastructure and make automated, whole-system testing the default for everything we ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of professional software engineering, with meaningful time spent building test infrastructure, CI systems, or simulation for systems that involve real hardware
- Proficiency in Python for test authoring and automation, plus working ability in Rust or C++ to read and debug the services under test
- Demonstrated experience automating tests against physical hardware: device provisioning, remote power and reset control, serial consoles, network booting, or instrumented benches
- Strong CI/CD engineering skills, including pipelines with expensive stages, hardware resource contention, and scheduled rather than per-commit execution
- Solid Linux systems fundamentals: systemd, networking, filesystems, and boot, since most of what you automate is a Linux system misbehaving
- The judgment to know which tests are worth their cost, and the discipline to fix or delete a flaky test rather than tolerate it
More about this role
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.
The Sentry Tower Software team develops robotic systems that provide force protection capabilities, monitoring the perimeter of secure areas, land or sea, for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels. We live in a world where security officers are increasingly overwhelmed by sensor data feeds. Our products leverage advanced sensor fusion and autonomy to seamlessly render activity in the environment to Lattice’s common operating picture.
