## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Barracuda Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware for the Warfighter.

As a Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will design, build, and sustain the critical test infrastructure that qualifies high-reliability hardware for production.

Responsibilities:

- Maintain ownership of manufacturing test infrastructure across the production lifecycle, ensuring station reliability, calibration, and line throughput

- Develop and maintain PLC-integrated station control software , commanding industrial controllers over Modbus TCP for rig actuation, interlocks, and sensor acquisition

- Build hardware-free simulation environments so test software is developed and regression-tested without occupying hardware

- Gather requirements, author comprehensive test plans, and define parametric acceptance criteria in close partnership with Reliability Engineers and Product Quality Engineers

- Design, build, and integrate complete test stations, including instrumentation selection, custom test racks, cable harnesses, and mechanical fixtures

- Develop robust, automated test software in Python running on Linux/Unix operating systems to orchestrate test sequences, instruments, and hardware checkouts

- Interface test equipment with devices under test (DUTs) using embedded communication protocols including UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232

- Configure, maintain, and debug Linux/Unix-based test stations utilizing terminal command-line utilities, SSH, and network configuration/diagnostic tools

- Collaborate on test fixture design and custom test PCBAs using Siemens NX (mechanical) and Altium Designer (electrical)

- Conduct rigorous root-cause analysis (RCCA) on hardware non-conformances, test failures, and test escapes to drive corrective actions back into design and assembly

- Ensure all test processes, station documentation, and calibration workflows adhere to AS9100 and related aerospace/defense quality standards

- Integrate test stations with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to maintain seamless serialization, test logs, and end-to-end component traceability

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

- 3+ years of relevant industry experience as a Manufacturing Test Engineer, or in an equivalent hardware test development and production sustainment role

- Demonstrated hands-on experience designing physical test infrastructure, including test racks, power distribution, DAQs, and lab instrumentation

- Proficiency writing automated test scripts and hardware control software in Python within a Linux/Unix environment

- Strong Linux/Unix systems knowledge, including terminal command-line proficiency, shell scripting, SSH, and network setup/debugging

- Hands-on experience interfacing with and debugging embedded hardware communication protocols: UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232

- Experience using CAD/EDA tools,such as Siemens NX for mechanical/fixture review and Altium Designer for schematic and PCBA analysis

- Familiarity with AS9100, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality management system standards in a regulated manufacturing environment

- Strong root-cause corrective action (RCCA) skills to diagnose electrical/mechanical test escapes and hardware failures

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience designing custom bed-of-nails, functional test (FCT), or box-build test fixtures

- C Programming knowledge

- Experience with Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) test execution, including thermal chambers, vibration tables, and burn-in setups

- Familiarity with Nix or NixOS for managing deterministic test station dependencies and environments

- Experience with SQL for querying manufacturing databases and tracking station yield metrics

- Familiarity with contract manufacturing (CM) engagement and PCBA test methods (ICT, flying probe, boundary scan/JTAG)

- Active U.S. Secret or Top Secret security clearance
