Software Engineer, Satellite Command and Control

4+ years building backend and distributed systems, primarily in a systems language (Go, Rust, or C++), with networked services using gRPC/Protobuf — and comfortable working primarily in Go

Experience shipping and operating production services on containers/Kubernetes, with real CI/CD and cloud deployment — you've run what you've built, not just written it

Experience integrating software with physical systems — hardware control, embedded interfaces, protocol implementation, or real-time data pipelines

A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact

Top Secret SCI security clearance

Space/aerospace domain experience: telemetry & commanding, ground stations and antenna systems, RF/waveform/link-layer, orbital mechanics, or GNC

As a Software Engineer on Space Ground Software, you will build, deploy, and operate the command-and-control software that flies real space missions — the ground-side services that plan missions, command spacecraft, ingest and serve telemetry, drive antennas and ground stations, and keep deployed satellite systems running in production.

You will develop modular capabilities on top of the Anduril Lattice software platform to support DoD and IC customers across the space domain, architecting Space C2 services, infrastructure, algorithms, and integrations that span both orbital and ground systems.

The Anduril Space C2 capability development will involve 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 set of orbital and ground-based capabilities.

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.

Own software solutions end-to-end — from API/proto design through deployment to production operation — and be on the hook when they run in front of customers

Build and operate backend services across the Space C2 stack (Go, gRPC/Protobuf): command & telemetry, mission and plan management, ground-station and antenna brokering, space-to-ground protocol stacks, file transfer, and access control

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.

The Lattice for Space C2 (LSC2) team owns the ground command-and-control platform — the services that interface directly with radios, ground-station networks, and flight computers to execute satellite missions in production.
