Software Engineer, Data Engineering

Anduril Maritime delivers platforms, systems, and integrated effects in the maritime domain. Our autonomous vehicles (sub-surface and surface) are the cornerstone of these capabilities, and we continually strive to push the boundaries of the possible in terms of endurance, autonomy and mission capability. The Maritime team develops and maintains core products and payloads, and adapts and applies those products to serve a wide variety of defense, IC and commercial customers in US and international markets.

As a Software Engineer, Data Engineering on the Maritime Digital Production team, you will build the high-throughput data systems that connect design, manufacturing, and operations into a unified digital thread. You’ll design and implement scalable data architectures that move and transform massive datasets efficiently, supporting everything from geometry access to live production analytics.
In this role, you’ll develop high-performance data access layers and scalable databases, integrate information from systems such as PLM, ERP, and MES, and ensure seamless, reliable data flow across the enterprise. You’ll continuously monitor and optimize performance to meet the demands of real-time, high-speed data operations, and maintain strong documentation to keep the system transparent and auditable.
You’ll work closely with software engineers, data scientists, and manufacturing technologists across Anduril in a high-tech, fast-paced culture of innovation. If you’re driven to build data systems that are fast, resilient, and deeply connected to real-world production, you’ll be helping build the future of digital shipbuilding and the next generation of maritime vehicles.
