I applied online. I interviewed at Anduril (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Screening: Initial recruiter contact, possibly with a short online test.
Technical Assessment: Could be a take-home challenge (e.g., simple API, data parsing) or an online test, assessing core programming skills.
Technical Interview (Manager/Team): In-depth discussion about your experience, tech stack, and problem-solving approaches.
Pairing Day/Deep Dive: Work on problems with multiple engineers, focusing on implementation and collaboration.
HR Interview: Behavioral questions about your professional development, successes, and failures.
I applied through their website. After one month I got email to set a interview date. Interestingly, the job I applied was not in their website anymore on the interview date.
The first part of interview was HR type basic questions. Second half was fully control theory test. I wasn't told there was a technical test in recruiter screening, but anyways I think I answered all of them correctly. It has been 3 weeks after the interview, no updates as of now.
Standard Phone Screen into on site interview round. Was 4 rounds. LeetCode esque questions into a system design round. Pretty typical compared to other companies. I would just brush up on your Data Structures and Algos
