What the posting says

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.

The Test and Evaluation team at Anduril is integral to our mission, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. Our team specializes in a broad spectrum of testing activities, including radars, ground vehicles, air vehicles, electronic systems, novel technologies, and more. We are at the forefront of testing approaches, particularly in the domain of complex imaging systems. As we expand, we're seeking a motivated and methodical engineer who is prepared to tackle the challenges of system testing across a wide spectrum of capabilities and contribute to the iterative development of the systems-under-test.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Contribute to developmental testing of tactical systems across multiple division, including support to both ground and air testing.

With oversight, integrate Anduril’s Test and Evaluation process into various programs and ensure adherence throughout the life of the program.

Take on new challenges, create a path forward, and either see solutions to conclusion or hand off solutions for execution by other engineers.

With supervision, ensure safe operations of all testing efforts in accordance with established operating procedures and practices

Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, hardware engineers, and product managers, to define test requirements and ensure alignment with system capabilities and mission objectives.

Support the continuous improvement of test procedures, safety protocols, and documentation standards to uphold the integrity of all test operations.

With guidance, coordinate with private/government test sites to test and evaluate systems and software

Analyze data from tests to validate system performance and identify areas for improvement

Become a technical resource in the product(s) you are supporting

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field from an accredited institution.

0-2 years of test engineering experience, other engineer discipline experience, or comparable skill (i.e. military exercise planning & evaluation)

Hands-on project experience, whether through internships, senior capstone projects, personal builds, or hobby engineering that demonstrates practical problem-solving ability

No extensive test process experience required, but a willingness to learn the rigor of formal test planning, safety review boards, Flight/Test Readiness Reviews, and technical report writing is essential

Ability to interpret and analyze test data using tools such as MATLAB, Python, or similar

Proactively seeks solutions and takes ownership of problems rather than waiting for tasking

Must be coachable and able to rapidly implement feedback from senior engineers and management

Strong written and verbal communication skills for documenting test results and briefing findings

Willingness to work flexible hours and on test ranges in field conditions, including remote or austere environments

Flexibility to adapt to varying schedules and willingness to travel to test sites as needed. Up to 50% travel during critical phases of testing.

Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

In this role, you will be subject to pre-employment and randomized substance screening, as required by the Company.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Current Secret or Top Secret security clearance

Demonstrated interest in engineering beyond the classroom — hobby projects, competition teams (AIAA, SAE, FSAE, Design-Build-Fly), or personal tinkering encouraged

Direct experience in the development, testing, and deployment of autonomy or imaging systems in a defense or aerospace context.

Familiarity with FAA, FCC, and other relevant regulations

RC pilot experience in Groups 1 - 3 rotary and fixed wing UAVs

Familiarity with software development practices and experience with programming languages used in autonomy and robotics (e.g., Python, C++, ROS).

Experience with the Department of War
