Senior Software Engineer, Data Engineering

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 Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the full technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system (ArsenalOS) that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that eliminate manual toil from both the shop floor and business operations. MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology. Our systems live where factory-floor machines, edge compute, and OT networks meet enterprise platforms and cloud infrastructure. We incubate solutions close to the production line, validate them with real operators building real hardware, harden them for reliability and security, and then scale them across multiple sites. The environment is fast, physical, and consequential. When our systems go down, production stops. The output of our work is not a dashboard: it is a ship. This is not a support function. It is a strategic investment by Anduril in the premise that digitizing the manufacturing lifecycle end-to-end, from engineering definition through scheduling through execution through field feedback, is how Heavy Metal will out-build, out-adapt, and out-scale the traditional defense industrial base. MDP is scaling from a founding team to 70+ engineers across multiple U.S. sites. You will be joining early, working on hard problems with real operational stakes, and shaping how manufacturing software is built at Anduril from the ground up. ABOUT THE JOB As a Senior Software Engineer, Data Engineering on this exciting - first of its kind initiative, you will develop the data systems that power intelligent manufacturing scheduling and optimization. You will build systems that generate manufacturing precedence graphs from 3D geometry and BOMs, and create optimization engines that replan production schedules in under 10 minutes when disruptions occur on the factory floor. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build high-performance data processing systems that replan production schedules in under 10 minutes when disruptions occur, using constraint solvers and numerical optimization techniques. Partner with manufacturing engineers and factory operators to understand production workflows and translate them into software requirements. Write production-quality code with comprehensive tests, participating in code review and architectural discussions. Design and implement data access layers for computational geometry operations, enabling efficient extraction of features, dependencies, and manufacturing sequences from CAD models. Develop graph algorithms that model manufacturing dependencies, resource constraints, and optimization objectives across complex assembly operations. Integrate data from PLM, ERP, MES, and CAD/CAM systems to create a unified data foundation for scheduling and optimization algorithms. Deploy and operate your systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks. Implement and optimize constraint solvers (e.g., MIP, CP, SAT) and numerical optimization algorit…
