TL;DR · Field Reliability Engineer, Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike

Field Reliability Engineer - Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike The Field Reliability Engineer joins the Anduril Maritime team to resolve technical issues for autonomous underwater and surface vehicles. This role involves identifying, reproducing, and fixing bugs in the production codebase triggered by field-reported anomalies such as sensor failures or mission faults. You will utilize existing metrics and log infrastructure to reconstruct system states and validate fixes in simulated or hardware-in-the-loop environments before deployment. The position requires proficiency in at least two of Rust, C++, Python, or Go, along with Linux systems fluency and experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or ELK. You will solve complex problems involving sensor data, mission logic, and real-time pipelines to ensure reliable operation of maritime autonomous systems. This role provides a path toward owning subsystems and driving roadmap work for underwater technology.

What you'll do

  • Identify the specific subsystem responsible for field-reported anomalies in autonomous maritime vehicles.
  • Reproduce bugs by replaying recorded sensor and mission data through live pipelines and visualization tools.
  • Use existing metrics and log infrastructure to reconstruct system states at the moment of failure.
  • Validate fixes in simulated environments or hardware-in-the-loop setups before deploying to real vehicles.
  • Write production-grade code in Rust, C++, Python, or Go with full testing and CI integration.
  • Distinguish between bugs, configuration errors, and deployment mismatches to ensure the fix occurs at the correct layer.
  • Document root causes and technical fixes for every closed issue to build team runbooks.
  • Advocate for fundamental subsystem changes rather than temporary patches when addressing recurring issues.

What we're looking for

  • Experience debugging code you did not write under time pressure with incomplete information.
  • Proficiency in at least two of Rust, modern C++, Python, or Go.
  • Proven systems-debugging instincts using logs and metrics to reconstruct system states from recorded data.
  • Experience with observability tooling such as Prometheus/Grafana-class metrics and Loki/ELK-class logs.
  • Linux and systems fluency.
  • Ability to clearly document root causes and technical fixes without fluff.
  • Willingness to travel 25% of the time on average.
  • Robotics middleware, sensor drivers, or real-time data pipeline experience (preferred).
