Responsibilities
As a Senior Orbital Software Engineer on Space, you will own the architecture and deployment of software solutions that support specific customer missions for on-orbit spacecraft operations and mission management.
As a senior software engineer, you will provide guidance and oversight to a team developing modular capabilities to support the DoD and IC customers across the space domain.
This will involve architecture of an orbital software system in coordination with the Anduril Lattice software platform team, algorithms, techniques and coding development to support orbital systems and their interfacing with multi-domain systems.
The Anduril orbital software capability development will ensure integration with legacy systems that have been part of our nation’s critical defense for decades as well as new space systems being added to the cache of orbital and ground-based capabilities.
The role will also be responsible for the interfaces to multi-modal payload platforms, bus platforms and networking solutions in proliferated satellite constellations
We work with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC.
Team
Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain.
