• Design and implement fault-tolerant low-level firmware drivers, middleware, and application software for microcontrollers in an RTOS environment (e.g., Zephyr), effectively managing concurrency and resource sharing through mutexes, semaphores, message queues, and event flags
• Collaborate on architecture and design emphasizing balance between loosely coupled concepts while considering determinism, complexity, stability, latency, power and memory constraints.
• Build firmware evaluation tools that interrogate code at compile-time and runtime, for quality, ruggedness and performance, in both virtual and on-target environments
• Help select microcontrollers and peripherals and review schematics with electrical engineering team
• Partner cross-functionally (software, hardware, mechanical, test and automation) to debug, profile and harden systems to persist in the face of real-world challenges, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind:
• No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates.

• Experience developing firmware in bare-metal environments
• Solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring up and debugging
• Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, Oscilloscopes, and Logic analyzers
• Familiarity with common bus protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, etc.
• Experience running unit tests, nightly build hardware in the loop validations, static code analysis
• Experience operating and deploying Continuous Integration Tools (ie. Jenkins, CircleCI, JFrog Artifactory) and automatic build environments (Ninja, Cmake, Makefiles, etc.)
