Senior Software Engineer, Compute Platform Integration
Anduril IndustriesResponsibilities
- Own the end-to-end boot path across every shipped compute generation, including firmware, UEFI, unified kernel images, initrds, encrypted root unlock, and NixOS handoff.
- Guarantee that all buses, peripherals, and network interfaces are correctly named, functional, and deterministically enumerated across upgrades.
- Create and maintain carrier-board DTS, DTSI, and device-tree overlay changes from hardware pinout and pinmux definitions.
- Develop and carry kernel, bootloader, and BSP patches across platform upgrades.
- Serve as the technical liaison to the platform organization by driving issues, reviewing upstream changes, and integrating new platform releases.
- Sustain deployed compute generations through vendor lifecycle changes, security patches, and backports.
- Support new hardware bring-up and bring boards to validated, production-flashable states.
- Debug intermittent bus errors, thermal and power faults, boot hangs, and failures that reproduce only on field units.
Requirements
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial embedded Linux platform, board support, or kernel-adjacent integration work.
- Deep understanding of embedded Linux boot chains, including firmware, bootloaders, UEFI, kernels, initrds, kernel command lines, root filesystem mounting, and failure modes.
- Fluency reading and modifying DTS, DTSI, and device-tree overlays and mapping hardware pinout or pinmux specifications to device trees.
- Ability to read, patch, and debug kernel and BSP source in C, plus proficiency in Rust or C++ for dependent userspace services.
- Practical knowledge of CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, and multi-port Ethernet peripherals and buses.
- Experience debugging real hardware using serial consoles, boot logs, dmesg, schematics, and datasheets.
- Demonstrated ability to drive technical work through another team and resolve platform or vendor issues.
- Experience safely owning software deployed on production hardware.
- US person status and eligibility to obtain and maintain a US security clearance are required.
- NVIDIA Jetson experience, including JetPack, Tegra, Jetson Linux BSP, flashing, or provisioning workflows, is preferred.
- Experience with declarative configuration and reproducible builds; Nix or NixOS is preferred, with Bazel, Buildroot, or Yocto as relevant alternatives.
- Experience with secure boot, signed kernels, or measured boot is preferred.
- Hardware lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, bus analyzers, or JTAG is preferred.
- Upstream Linux kernel contributions are preferred.
- Python experience for bring-up scripts, test automation, or device-tree generation is preferred.
Benefits
- Competitive full-time employee benefits available at little to no cost.
