Job description

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.

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril Ground Maneuver is the business line that brings Anduril's sensors, effectors, communications, command and control, and Lattice to military ground vehicles. Our work covers wheeled and tracked platforms, from light tactical vehicles to armored vehicles. Our customers range from Army and Marine Corps program offices to the units that operate these vehicles in the field.

We're hiring a systems engineer to support several of our programs at once. At any given time, some will be building and integrating vehicles with customers, some will be in qualification testing, and some will be moving into production. You'll write and maintain the requirements and test plans for each program, run tests in the lab and in the field, and keep each program's verification evidence complete and current. You'll also work with the business development team to size up new opportunities and shape how we would integrate them.

You'll work closely with mechanical, electrical, software and test engineers, and with the division's safety, reliability and cybersecurity engineers. You'll also spend time with customers at test events and on site. Experience with vehicle integration or vehicle systems is valuable in this role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Write and maintain system requirements for multiple programs, and keep each one traced to how it will be verified.

• Write test plans and procedures, run tests, and write the test reports.

• Plan and support qualification testing (environmental, EMI and safety) at Anduril and outside test labs.

• Support integration builds in the lab and on vehicles, and work through problems with the mechanical, electrical and software engineers.

• Work with the division's shared safety, reliability and cybersecurity engineers. Give them the system information they need, and make sure their findings get built into the design.

• Support proposals and new opportunities: feasibility checks, size, weight and power estimates, integration approaches and technical write-ups.

• Back up the lead systems engineer on a Program of record

• Keep program documentation under version control and current as designs change.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• B.S. in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field

• 3+ years of systems engineering, test or integration engineering experience on hardware

• Experience writing requirements, test procedures and test reports

• Hands-on experience in a lab or field environment with hardware integration and test

• Familiarity with military standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-1275

• Comfortable switching among several programs and setting priorities without being told

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to travel up to 25% for test events and customer sites

• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience integrating systems onto military or commercial vehicles

• Experience running environmental or EMI qualification tests at an outside test lab

• Experience supporting proposals or technical volumes for DoD customers

• Experience with Army or Marine Corps customers and test organizations

• Python or MATLAB for test data analysis

• Experience with requirements management tools (Jama, DOORS or similar)

• Active U.S. Secret security clearance
