Senior Edge Software Deployment Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops innovative and differentiated radar solutions to tackle significant security challenges for America and its allies. We are looking for highly collaborative engineers that will bring significant expertise, experience and energy to the team's endeavors.  

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril seeking a skilled and experienced Edge Software Deployment Engineer to join our radar software team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for deploying, managing, and securing software that runs on the embedded, heterogeneous processors within our radar systems. This role requires a unique blend of embedded systems knowledge, DevOps practices, and experience with diverse hardware architectures.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• DevOps for Embedded Systems: Adapt standard DevOps principles and tools for the unique constraints of embedded systems for Radar, which includes managing fleet-wide software updates for devices with intermittent connectivity.
• Security: Integrate security best practices and tools into the development and deployment process from the beginning (DevSecOps). This includes core security hardening (e.g., implementing STIGs), kernel hardening (e.g., using Address Space Layout Randomization, Control Flow Integrity, and securing boot processes), securing the software supply chain, managing updates, and implementing robust security controls on embedded hardware.
• Deployment and Provisioning: Lead the design and automation of the edge provisioning pipeline, from operating system setup to application deployment and monitoring.
• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools like CircleCI to automate the build, testing, and deployment of software to edge devices.
• Operating Systems (OS): Manage and customize embedded Linux distributions (e.g., using Yocto or NixOS) for performance, reliability, and security on ARM and GPU architectures.
• Heterogeneous Architecture Support: Deploy and manage software across our diverse hardware platform, which includes:
  • Nvidia Jetson: Deploy, optimize, and manage software on Nvidia Jetson GPUs
  • FPGAs: Interact with HDL firmware for FPGAs (Altera Agilex, Xilinx Ultrascale) and C++ applications for soft processors within FPGAs,  using development toolchains like Quartus and Vivado.
  • CPU Architectures: Deploy and manage software for ARM CPU architectures.
• System Integration: Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software engineering teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
• Troubleshooting: Provide technical support and troubleshoot software issues on fielded devices.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ Years of experience and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• Proven experience in a DevOps, SRE, or embedded systems role.
• Deep expertise in Linux internals and system-level configuration.
• Experience with declarative configuration management, preferably with Nix or NixOS, for creating reproducible build environments.
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as CircleCI.
• Proficiency in scripting languages like Python and Bash.
• Hands-on experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) and system integration labs (SIL).
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration tailored for resource-constrained edge environments.
• Solid understanding of cybersecurity principles for embedded and edge devices, including core hardening techniques.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance

DESIRED SKILLS (PLUS)

• Experience with bootloaders like U-Boot and secure boot processes.
• Familiarity with FPGA development tools such as Quartus and Vivado.
• Knowledge of network protocols and security on embedded systems.
• Experience deploying embedded systems in air-gapped or intermittently connected environments
