Senior Software Engineer, Satellite Command and ControlActive$253K

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U. S.

What you'll do

• Own the architecture of Space C2 services and the software solutions deployed: to customers, end-to-end — from API/proto design through deployment to production operation

• Design, build, and operate backend services across the Space C2 stack (Go,: gRPC/Protobuf): command & telemetry, mission and plan management, ground-station and antenna brokering, space-to-ground protocol stacks, file transfer, and access control

• Write and evolve protobuf API contracts, coordinating interface changes across teams

• Drive technical RFCs and architecture decisions for new subsystem capabilities

• Deploy and run services in secure government cloud on containers/Kubernetes,: own operational readiness, and lead on-call and incident response for live missions

• Integrate with spacecraft and ground infrastructure: software-defined radios, antenna pointing, ground-station providers, space-to-ground data links, and astrodynamics (orbit propagation, maneuver planning, satellite state)

What they're looking for

• Space/aerospace domain experience: telemetry & commanding, ground stations and antenna systems, RF/waveform/link-layer, orbital mechanics, or GNC
• Experience with space C2 software systems and spacecraft operations
• Experience with CCSDS protocols (TM/TC framing, CFDP, virtual channels) or: similar layered communication standards
• Experience with binary protocol parsing: deserializing wire formats, implementing framing layers, or working with annotation-driven codecs
• Previous exposure to software-defined radios, RF modems, or satellite communication equipment
• Experience with deployment and infrastructure-as-code tooling such as: Kubernetes, FluxCD, Helm, Terraform, or Nix, and government cloud (e.g., Azure Gov)
• Experience operating live systems (on-call, incident response) and building observability/metrics
• Nix-based build systems or reproducible/hermetic build toolchains
