Integration and Test Engineer, Software

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

The Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril develops operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. We are focused on new air vehicle development programs, and making large groups of autonomous systems work effectively together.

As an Integration and Test Engineer with a strong software focus, you will join the Maneuver Dominance team at our Costa Mesa HQ to help develop and scale our Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the test framework and software infrastructure that bridges our Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) testing to Hardware-In-The-Loop testing, enabling a seamless testing experience across both environments.
• Develop logging infrastructure and log-processing tooling to capture, organize, correlate, and analyze system behavior during HITL testing.
• Develop diagnostics and telemetry debug capabilities that provide visibility into system state and enable efficient troubleshooting of integration and test failures.
• Develop fault-injection capabilities that enable controlled failures and degraded conditions to be introduced and evaluated during testing.
• Build automated tests to evaluate system behavior, fault detection, handling, recovery, and graceful degradation.
• Develop configuration management tracking tools to maintain consistent and reproducible HITL configurations.
• Automate HITL health checks, setup, configuration, deployment, and test execution to reduce manual effort and improve repeatability.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for regression testing.
• Establish software and testing best practices that enable HITL systems to be used as a reliable part of the development and integration lifecycle.
• Support the physical stand-up, configuration, and maintenance of open-loop and closed-loop HITLs, and the integration of hardware, compute, networking, sensors, and other components required for HITL testing.
• Troubleshoot and resolve real-time simulation issues during HITL operations, including timing constraints, hardware interface problems, and model fidelity discrepancies.
• Work closely with software, systems, simulation, and hardware engineers to identify and resolve integration and test issues.
• Act with a strong safety mindset (“Stop, Think, Do”) while operating in prototype and experimental environments with the aim of eliminating potential harm to team members.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree (or similar) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering, or similar.
• Ability to take ownership of software infrastructure from development through deployment, testing, and maintenance.
• Experience developing automated test frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, configuration management processes, and test tooling such as logging, diagnostics, and debug utilities.
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
• Experience with Github.
• Experience developing, operating, and maintaining software frameworks for HIL/HITL/Ironbird/System Support Equipment for a Group 4 or Group 5 UAS, aerospace, or defense vehicle integration and test environment.
• Understanding of software/hardware interfaces, networking, and electrical bus protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-232/422/485, MIL-STD-1553).
• Strong debugging skills and the ability to troubleshoot issues across software and hardware boundaries.
• Prior hands on experience working with and troubleshooting electrical systems, harnesses, LRUs, and electro-mechanical assemblies.
• Experience using diagnostic and protocol analysis tools such as Saleae Logic Analyzers, Wireshark, PEAK-System CAN interfaces, or similar tools.
• Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and adapt quickly in a face-paced development environment.
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal and communication skills.
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in United States, United Kingdom, or Australia desirable.
