Software Engineer - Simulation Integrations

Seattle, Washington, United States

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's TRS Simulation team owns the ecosystem, frameworks, and guidance that make simulation possible, repeatable, and scalable across the Tactical Recon & Strike business line. We don't just run sims, we define what it means for a simulation to be trustworthy. Our team operates across four pillars: Sim Infrastructure, Sim Fidelity, Sim Integrations, and Training Simulations, supporting products like Altius, Ghost, Bolt, and Anvil from early development through field deployment. Every fidelity improvement, every validated model, and every simulation environment we deliver directly determines whether autonomous systems are ready to fly real missions.

Our vision is one simulation framework that serves every product and every deployment target, from a developer's laptop through CI pipelines, operator training environments, and large-scale HPC Monte Carlo campaigns. The same declarative workspace definition can be composed, extended, and deployed wherever simulation is needed, so teams spend their time on mission problems instead of reinventing infrastructure.

THE ROLE

This role is for a versatile engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment with a different challenge every day. The Sim Integrations sub-team is the connective tissue between the simulation platform and the programs that depend on it. You'll take program simulation requirements, understand the delta against existing capabilities, build clear action plans, and own those plans to completion, including responsibility for positive customer and program feedback. The work moves fast and the priorities are real, but so is the impact: the simulation environments you deliver directly enable teams to develop, validate, and field autonomous systems.

You'll work across the full breadth of TRS products and programs, interfacing with program managers, autonomy engineers, systems engineers, operators, and customers. No two weeks look the same: one week you might be standing up a new simulation environment for a field exercise, the next you're debugging a network configuration across a distributed sim, and the next you're wrangling integration issues across multiple program deliverables. You will own your solutions from design through delivery and long-term maintenance, with the support and collaboration of our team behind you. If you're a jack-of-all-trades who loves thinking on your feet and making other teams successful, this is your role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Serve as the primary simulation point of contact for TRS programs, translating program-specific simulation requirements into actionable technical plans and owning delivery end-to-end.
  • Identify deltas between existing simulation capabilities and program needs, then coordinate across Sim Infrastructure, Sim Fidelity, and functional engineering teams to close those gaps.
  • Configure, extend, and validate simulation environments across the full stack, from autonomy and sensor configurations to networking and deployment infrastructure.
  • Support field events, customer demos, and program milestone deliverables with hands-on simulation expertise and rapid troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate with program managers and systems engineers to align simulation fidelity levels with program priorities, using our team's fidelity rubric to drive investment where it has the most impact.
  • Develop reusable patterns and documentation so that program-specific solutions feed back into the platform and reduce the cost of the next integration.
  • At the senior level: manage the portfolio of active program simulation engagements, drive cross-program prioritization, and mentor other engineers on integration best practices.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 3+ years of professional software engineering experience in an industry setting, with hands-on delivery of software to internal or external customers.
  • Proficiency across multiple programming languages (C++, Python, Bash) with the versatility to pick up whatever the problem demands.
  • Strong Linux/Unix fundamentals: comfortable navigating systems, debugging across layers of the stack, and working in terminal-driven workflows.
  • Working understanding of networking concepts (protocols, routing, network debugging) sufficient to troubleshoot distributed simulation environments.
  • Comfortable with the professional software development lifecycle from start to finish.
  • Experience working directly with customers, program teams, or stakeholders to translate requirements into delivered capabilities.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritize effectively, and deliver under real deadlines.
  • Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases.
  • A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Additional for Senior candidates:

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Experience managing a portfolio of deliverables across multiple programs or customers simultaneously.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and establishing repeatable processes that scale beyond a single person.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience with simulation frameworks, real-time systems, or robotics platforms.
  • Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (Nix, Docker, CI/CD systems).
  • Experience with NixOS or declarative system configuration.
  • Familiarity with field deployment, customer demos, or operational support for software systems.
  • Experience creating or maintaining software-in-the-loop (SITL) test environments.
  • Ability to context-switch effectively across diverse technical domains without losing quality.
  • A bias toward rapid delivery and iteration.
