Job Summary

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Cyber is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of capabilities to enable offensive cyber missions. Cyber is a new business line at Anduril and relies upon our fleet of autonomous vehicles Lattice operating system mesh networks and other hardware products to engage in cyber operations at the edge. We design and build novel solutions to deploy cyber capabilities in unconventional or difficult to reach environments Anduril Cyber is hiring a Software Engineer focused on embedded and mission software integration. Strong candidates may lean more heavily toward embedded-platform or mission/backend work but should be comfortable collaborating across adjacent layers that connect devices operators and data products.

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril Cyber is hiring an FPGA Engineer with deep experience in high-throughput FPGA/SoC digital design precision timing and hardware/software integration. The role is defined around the technical depth and execution patterns reflected in the hiring plan and representative resume set without assuming a fixed silicon choice this early.

  • Design and implement high-throughput FPGA datapaths packetization pipelines timing-sensitive interfaces and hardware-near acceleration blocks.
  • Own RTL design simulation verification and lab bring-up across VHDL Verilog or SystemVerilog-based workflows.
  • Work closely with DSP software hardware and systems engineers to turn algorithm and interface requirements into robust FPGA implementations.
  • Drive precision timing synchronization and throughput closure for the selected FPGA/SoC platform and adjacent high-speed digital interfaces.
  • Document architectures interfaces and verification approaches clearly enough for cross-functional integration and long-term maintainability.
  • Support design reviews technical trade studies and lab debugging with a hands-on player-coach engineering mindset.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Strong experience with FPGA development on Xilinx or comparable platforms including SoC/MPSoC-based or other high-performance digital devices relevant to SDR systems.
  • Proficiency in VHDL Verilog or SystemVerilog including simulation timing closure and resource/performance tradeoffs.
  • Experience building high-speed digital interfaces and datapaths such as Ethernet-based packet movement DMA-adjacent flows or streaming signal pipelines.
  • Hands-on familiarity with precision timing synchronization sysref/clocking concepts and deterministic interface behavior.
  • Experience with FPGA verification methodologies and automation including regression-oriented testbenches and CI-backed validation.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with software and DSP engineers on register interfaces control surfaces and integration boundaries.
  • Comfort debugging in the lab using oscilloscopes logic analyzers spectrum analyzers or related instrumentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical design reviews and cross-functional engineering work
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience with cocotb GitLab CI/CD or similar automation for FPGA verification and release confidence.
  • Background in FFT/channelization pipelines PSD generation AGC-adjacent blocks or other signal-processing-oriented FPGA implementations.
  • Familiarity with embedded software interfaces to FPGA systems including Linux-based control planes and hardware/software co-debug.
  • Experience presenting architecture and implementation details in customer-facing or formal design-review settings.
  • Track record of mentoring other engineers and improving design quality across a broader FPGA/DSP team.
