As a Mission Software Engineer on the Anduril Maritime team, you will resolve complex technical issues for autonomous underwater and surface vehicles. You will be responsible for identifying, reproducing, and fixing field-reported anomalies within the codebase rather than just triaging tickets. Your daily work involves analyzing sensor data, utilizing metrics and log infrastructure to reconstruct system states, and implementing fixes in a simulated or hardware-in-the-loop environment before deployment. To succeed, you must possess strong systems-debugging instincts and proficiency in at least two of Rust, C++, Python, or Go. You will also need experience with Linux, observability tools like Prometheus and Grafana, and the ability to communicate root causes clearly. This role addresses critical reliability challenges in maritime robotics by ensuring that autonomous vehicles function correctly in unpredictable real-world environments.
