## Description

We are looking for a Firmware Engineer to develop low-level embedded software and help build the tests that verify it works. You'll work alongside senior engineers to update requirements, write firmware in C, and write tests to prove the code does what it should. If you want to grow your embedded skills on real defense platforms that ship in months - not years - this is the role.

What You'll Do:

 * Develop low-level firmware in C for microcontrollers across multiple product platforms
 * Write and execute test procedures that verify firmware behavior against requirements
 * Debug and troubleshoot issues that span the electrical, firmware, and software boundaries
 * Support board bring-up and hardware-firmware integration alongside cross-functional teams
 * Help maintain requirements traceability to ensure every requirement has a corresponding test
 * Contribute to multiple projects at various stages from prototype through production, 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.
