Anduril Industries
Field Reliability Engineer - Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike
About this role
Join Anduril's Maritime team as a Field Reliability Engineer debugging real-world issues in autonomous underwater/surface vehicles. You'll reproduce field anomalies, trace root causes across subsystems using logs and metrics, ship fixes in production code, and build institutional knowledge to prevent recurring failures—working directly with deployed hardware rather than theoretical problems.
What you'll do
- Reproduce and diagnose field-reported anomalies in autonomous vehicle software by replaying sensor data and reconstructing system state
- Trace issues across subsystems in Rust, C++, Python, or Go codebases and implement production fixes with tests through CI/CD
- Validate fixes in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments before deploying to real vehicles
- Write clear root-cause analyses and contribute to on-call runbooks to prevent recurring failures
- Travel 25%+ of the time to support field operations and collaborate with subsystem-owning teams
- Push back on symptom-patching and advocate for systemic fixes at the correct architectural layer
What they're looking for
- Debugging unfamiliar code under time pressure with incomplete information
- Proficiency in at least two of: Rust, modern C++, Python, Go
- Systems-level debugging: logs, metrics, offline reproduction from recorded data
- Observability tools: Prometheus/Grafana metrics, Loki/ELK-style logging
- Linux and systems administration fluency
- Clear technical writing and root-cause documentation
- Hardware-in-the-loop and simulation testing
- CI/CD and versioned deployment workflows for embedded systems

Likely interview questions
- Walk us through a time you debugged a complex bug in code you didn't write—what was your process and what made it hard?
- Describe your experience with observability tools like Prometheus or ELK—how have you used metrics and logs to diagnose production issues?
