## Description

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

We are seeking a Senior Development Engineer to join the Internal Capabilities Development (ICD) team within ETC in Costa Mesa, CA. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role for an engineer who can take a test capability from concept to commissioned hardware, spanning mechanical design, electrical integration, controls, and data acquisition.

**Responsibilities**

- Design and build test equipment and capabilities from the ground up, from concept and requirements through fabrication, commissioning, and handoff

- Produce mechanical designs and CAD models of custom test equipment, including structural, thermal, and hydraulic/pneumatic subsystems

- Design and integrate hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including actuators, pumps, servo valves, manifolds, and safety interlocks

- Program and integrate PLC-based control systems for automated sequencing, control, and safety monitoring

- Develop LabVIEW and NI FlexLogger applications for multi-channel data acquisition, closed-loop control, and test automation

- Design and build electrical enclosures, control panels, and wiring in accordance with applicable electrical codes and safety standards

- Design instrumentation and data acquisition approaches, including sensor selection (thermocouples, strain gauges, load cells, pressure transducers), channel configuration, sample rates, and measurement uncertainty considerations

- Support structural, pressure-vessel, and dyno builds for the DevTest ground and maritime teams as needed

- Contribute to build-vs-buy assessments and advocate for internal builds where ICD can beat vendor cost and timeline

- Analyze data, troubleshoot integrated systems, and produce engineering documentation and data packages

- Partner with ETC and product teams from concept through delivery as a capability-development subject matter expert

- Develop and maintain equipment documentation, build procedures, work instructions, and training materials

- Support design and test readiness reviews, providing technical input on feasibility, risk, safety, and resource requirements

- Maintain lab and build spaces, promote safety culture, and support proper maintenance of capital equipment

- Travel to test sites and remote labs as needed to support builds, field testing, or capability standup

**REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS**

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical discipline, OR 10+ years of progressive equipment-development experience in lieu of degree

- 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience designing and building test equipment or complex electromechanical systems

- Mechanical design and CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent)

- Experience designing and integrating hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems

- Experience programming PLCs for control and safety of equipment

- Proficiency with LabVIEW and/or NI FlexLogger and NI DAQ hardware

- Experience building electrical enclosures, control panels, and instrumentation wiring

- Working knowledge of instrumentation and data acquisition, including sensor selection, signal conditioning, and channel configuration

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-mix environment developing multiple capabilities simultaneously

- Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance

**PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS**

- Experience developing large-scale custom test equipment such as thermal chambers, static-fire stands, or environmental chambers

- Familiarity with MIL-STD-810H environmental test methods and equipment requirements

- Experience with pressure-vessel design or testing and associated safety requirements (ASME BPVC, proof/burst)

- Experience with dynamometer builds and torque/thrust measurement systems

- Familiarity with closed-loop servo-hydraulic control (MTS, Instron, or equivalent)

- Experience with SCADA or any kind of HMI development for custom equipment

- Familiarity with strain gauge installation, Wheatstone bridge configurations, and signal conditioning

- Knowledge of measurement uncertainty analysis and GR&R concepts

- Experience with defense or aerospace test programs
