Anduril Industries, Inc.
Senior Firmware Engineer - BMS (Battery Team)
Anduril Industries, Inc., Costa Mesa, California, United States, 92626
Staff Firmware Engineer - BMS (Battery Team)
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 Job Anduril is seeking a Firmware Engineer to join our team based in Costa Mesa, CA. The firmware team at Anduril develops core technology used across multiple products such as Menace, Dive‑XL, Ghost, and Roadrunner. We work in close coordination with the battery team to develop hardware and software solutions to some of the hardest problems facing our customers. You'll contribute low‑level firmware development for systems operating on land, sea, and air.
What You'll Do
Architect and develop robust battery management system (BMS) algorithms, to be applied across different programs and product lines across Anduril.
Develop algorithms for battery state handling, enable/disable switch control, cell balancing, SOC estimation, SOH, SOP, power limits, communications/drivers, fault handling, isolation monitoring, HVIL, etc.
Collaborate with battery systems engineers to translate battery system‑level requirements to actionable software/validation requirements.
Collaborate with battery test engineers and systems engineers to characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models and deploy them to BMS software.
Rapidly develop and validate BMS algorithms in Simulink using test harnesses (leveraging battery model simulations and/or logged battery cell/pack data).
Leverage automated software regression testing to improve long‑term efficiency of software‑in‑loop (SIL) and hardware‑in‑loop (HIL) testing.
Leverage Simulink‑to‑C auto‑code generation to rapidly transition from functional algorithms to compiled artifacts for deployment and integrate the generated artifacts into the existing firmware codebase.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering or Computer Science.
Demonstrated deployment of robust BMS software or firmware to a multi‑cell battery module or pack.
Experience in BMS HW/SW validation methods – including SIL/SITL, MIL/MITL, and HIL/HITL testing.
Good C coding ability for embedded systems.
Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors.
Experience developing firmware in bare‑metal or RTOS environments.
Experience in cell equivalent circuit model (ECM) development and deployment to battery management systems.
Experience in battery characterization methods: mission profile validation, equivalent‑circuit model characterization, cycle/calendar life assessment, safety features, etc.
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export‑controlled information or facilities.
Preferred Qualifications
Graduate Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering or Computer Science with an applied focus on battery management systems.
Familiarity with common electrochemical energy storage materials, technologies, and boundaries of operation.
Demonstrated experience in battery testing, modelling, controls, and module/pack integration/operation.
Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
Experience with Simulink model development and auto‑code generation.
Salary Range $220,000 - $292,000 USD
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
Benefits

– Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to U.S. employees; full coverage for UK, AUS, and IE roles.
Income Protection
– Life and disability insurance for all employees.
Generous time off
– Competitive PTO plans, holiday break in December, caregiver and wellness leave.
Family Planning & Parenting Support
– Coverage for fertility treatments, adoption, gestational carriers, and related resources.
Mental Health Resources
– Free mental health resources 24/7, therapy, coaching, and additional work‑life services.
Professional Development
– Annual reimbursement for professional development.
Commuter Benefits
– Company‑funded commuter benefits based on region.
Retirement Savings Plan
– 401(k), Roth, mega‑backdoor Roth for U.S.; pension plan with employer match for UK & IE; Superannuation for AUS.
