Anduril Industries
Robotics Software Engineer, Verification & Validation
About this role
Anduril Industries seeks a Robotics Software Engineer to design and own verification & validation infrastructure for the Omen autonomous platform. You'll build automated testing environments (SITL/HITL) that validate mission software, autonomy behavior, and hardware integration before field deployment, with opportunities to grow into mission software development.
What you'll do
- Architect and maintain automated test infrastructure for mission software across unit, integration, and system levels
- Design Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop test environments for autonomy and full-system validation
- Write tests for hardware interfaces including UART, CANbus, and serial protocols used in embedded systems
- Develop tooling to evaluate autonomy tasking, decision-making, and mission outcomes against operational scenarios
- Collaborate with mission software, autonomy, hardware, and platform teams to detect defects early
- Travel up to 25% for operational testing, debugging, and field validation
What they're looking for
- C++ (2+ years production experience)
- Automated testing and test infrastructure design
- Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) environments
- Hardware interface protocols (UART, CANbus, serial)
- Integration and system-level testing
- Embedded systems knowledge
- Python and/or Go
- Verification and validation practices

Likely interview questions
- Walk us through a time you owned automated testing infrastructure end-to-end. What testing pyramid did you build, and how did you prioritize unit vs. integration vs. system tests?
- Describe your experience designing or working with SITL and HITL environments. What challenges did you face, and how did you validate autonomy behavior in simulation before hardware deployment?
