This role demands a proactive problem-solver with a strong background in electrical engineering, systems engineering principles, and safety-critical development. You will drive the technical direction, ensure robust product design, and guide cross-functional teams to deliver critical capabilities that empower our mission. Key Responsibilities: - Define systems engineering strategies in the Tactical Recon & Strike Division to drive requirements and verification for core Anduril Products Altius, Anvil, Bolt, and Ghost. - Design, develop, and implement automated system-level integration tests on SITL, HITL, and hybrid testbeds coupled to simulation environments, followed by flight testing to ensure robust validation of system functionality and performance. - Define and devise testing strategies using appropriate testing modalities for system and software requirements. - Autonomously execute on broad and/or ambiguous requirements from internal engineering, program office, and third-party corporate partners to own successful delivery of outcomes on multiple programs simultaneously. - Coordinate and execute frequent test events involving various levels of software and hardware, from in-lab full-software simulations to full hardware-in-the-loop demonstrations at test sites. - Define a strategy to comply with appropriate industry standards, e.g., NATO UAV and MIL-STD-882E. - Demonstrate high ownership on all pieces of work; become a trusted partner to Anduril’s software engineers. - Ensure that the organization’s technical roadmap is well understood and that programs and staffing are aligned with the roadmap. - Manage, unblock, and accelerate cross-team projects spanning multiple functional teams and cross-functional initiatives. - Identify and resolve systemic execution issues across the team or group that require broader initiatives to resolve. - Identify, resolve, and escalate key cross-team dependencies. - Support leads with quarterly and ongoing staffing plans across the organization, particularly where difficult prioritization conflicts exist. - Collaborate closely with other partner teams, such as hardware, product, and test operations as needed. - Understand technical implementation at the architectural level and propose technical alternatives when necessary; ask questions that clarify priorities. Requirements: - 5+ years experience with programming languages, such as Python, C++, or Rust, for analysis and simulation, while also being familiar with modern software development practices and designs, unit testing, integration test, and release processes. - Degree in Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field. - Experience in safety-critical industry, particularly with safety-critical software development standards, software safety fault/hazard analysis, and requirements-driven software verification and validation strategies. - Experience with cloud infrastructure platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for software deployment and scalability. - Demonstrated proficiency in the application of engineering standards into engineering processes or requirements, with the ability to take ambiguous, high-level problems and translate them into actionable engineering processes, detailed requirements, and comprehensive verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure robust and reliable system performance. - Experience writing testable system-level and software-level requirements. - Proficiency in large-scale data modeling, data analysis, and visualization, including experience with tools such as Palantir Foundry, Tableau, AFSIM or similar platforms. - Skilled in Statistics and AI/ML. - Excellent communication and presentation skills. - Must be willing to travel for test field events up to 25%. - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with sensor modeling, simulation, and analysis to support system design and performance evaluation. - Experience in building programs for software deliverables from ground up. - Ability to work within organizations with minimal structure and with minimal direction. - Experience in rolling out potentially disruptive organizational process changes. - Experience with creating communication plans for various levels of stakeholders. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills. - Strong technical, analytical, and quantitative skills with the ability to use data and metrics to back up assumptions, recommendations, and drive decisions. - Experience with tools like JIRA and Confluence. - Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or an Engineering discipline. - Active clearance status. ## Skills ### Required - Python - C++ - Rust - AWS - Azure - Google Cloud - Palantir Foundry - Tableau - AFSIM - Statistics - AI/ML ### Nice to have - Sensor modeling - Simulation - Analysis - Software development - Cloud infrastructure - Data modeling - Data analysis - Data visualization - Communication planning - Project management --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/andurilindustries/jobs/5144315007?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
