Software Release and Quality Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

WHY WE'RE HERE

The Advanced Effects Software team within the Air Dominance & Strike division at Anduril develops aerial and multi-domain robotic systems. The team is responsible for taking products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet), Roadrunner (twin jet vertical take off and landing) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile) from concept to product. The team also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Anduril’s premier software platform that enables masses of Fury, Roadrunner, Barracuda, and other first and third party robots to collaborate across various missions. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Motion Planning, Hardware, and Test Engineering to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We support the deployment of our products while improving capability and reliability of our products. We are looking for software engineers and roboticist excited about creating a powerful autonomy software stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.

We are looking to bring on a Senior Software Release and Continuous Delivery Engineer to define and manage major releases aligned with program milestones to deliver production quality software releases for families-of-systems (aircraft, ground systems, and support elements) across multiple product variants. You will work closely with a team of co-developers that will develop processes & tools that allows Anduril to develop and release safety and mission critical systems quickly and reliably. A strong SW Release and Quality engineer will have a proven track record of managing the deployment of production software, interacting with CI/CD pipelines, has strong coding skills, and maintains a background in applying automated test coverage infrastructure both on-device and in the cloud.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the software solutions that are deployed to customers for autonomous systems.
• Implement and manage automated testing and deployment processes in an established continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) environment to ensure a release pipeline infrastructure that is gated on automated tests with high code coverage
• Work with other software developers to improve their unit and regression test coverage
• Define and develop software in the loop (SITL) and hardware in the loop (HITL) tests to validate system level performance and assure system quality
• Review and approve pull requests (PRs) across the full family of systems
• Manage and coordinate the deployment of development releases to test and evaluation teams for flight test validation in coordination with configuration management teams
• Manage and coordinate the deployment of production releases to flight test, manufacturing, and operations teams in customer environments in coordination with configuration management teams
• Plan, organize, delegate, and maintain official release notes
• Collaborate with program management on communicating program increment software features and specifications to customer stakeholders before and during development sprints
• Plan, organize, delegate, and maintain official software engineering change requests to deliver to customer decision makers before deploying an official release
• Plan, organize, delegate and maintain official software update procedures
• Develop processes and tools to inspect and maintain system configuration sets
• Monitor and enhance system reliability, performance, and security through automation and monitoring of metrics collected from SITL, HITL, flight test, and deployed operations.
• Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate next-steps with product-centric and platform-wide developers
• Travel up to 30% time to flight test sites to help integrate and test major feature updates
• Lead major release and quality assurance efforts, mentoring other developers, collaborating with other leads, and providing guidance on decision making in a high pace mission critica
