Manufacturing Test Engineer - Product & Integration Test

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 Manufacturing Test Engineer to join Anduril, working in a cutting-edge start-up environment to advance the state-of-the-possible in subsea robotics.

Responsibilities

• Optimize test design and execution of offshore acceptance testing of AUV's, including test plan generation, fixture development, and data analysis tools.
• Collaborate with Systems/Test and Evaluation teams throughout product development cycles to perform risk assessments, transition test campaign to operationalized production testing, drive reductions in offshore acceptance test cycles, and mature in-factory acceptance testing within production line.
• Develop automated post-mission analysis tools to evaluate vehicle performance through acceptance test.
• Build a broad range of test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream - from system level checkouts and acceptance testing to key component level in process validation.
• Develop, execute, and manage test eco-system to de-risk hardware and ensure product meets target reliability levels and ultimate design intent.
• Perform hands-on and data-driven root cause analysis of electromechanical subsystems utilizing structured problem solving methodologies.
• Design and implement semi-automated testing equipment/protocols for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing.
• Produce and maintain testing logs/data, develop library of error codes with troubleshooting logic/diagrams for fast issue resolution.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, EE/Computer Engineering, Ocean Engineering or related field, or equivalent work experience
• 5+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably test design of electro-mechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Experience in analyzing or reviewing sonar and/or acoustic data from subsea sensors
• Well versed with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and/or offshore robotics testing and are passionate about understanding what it takes to make them work reliably
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab, SHELL, or others
• Have experience developing full system test plans and know how to execute them on fast-paced product development timelines
• Have experience with programming/testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and electrical components
• Bias for action – if you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it
• Can prototype and run your own tests, from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiar with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Test Execution Systems (TES)
• Demonstrated ability to learn new skills or adapt to new situations. Un-phased by challenges that go beyond the traditional comfort zone or work experience. Multidisciplinary approach to problem solving
• Comfortable with high project ownership under technical and schedule pressure, particularly where the scope and definition are limited
• Experience testing and operating with or around hazardous systems (high voltage up to 400V)
• Experience working on projects that involve the integration of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems
