## Description

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

The Senior Quality Engineer, Applied AI role is part of the CorpTech Platform team, which drives CorpTech engineering forward through strategic investment in data platforms, software platforms, QA and release excellence, ERP engineering, and AI infrastructure.

The Mission Control team is responsible for quality assurance, release management, and incident management across the systems Anduril's factories run on. The successful candidate will build automated system integration tests that exercise real product lines end to end, simulate the workload and data of a live production environment, and make it possible for engineers and operators to verify quality themselves.

Key responsibilities:

- Design, build, and own automated system integration tests that exercise Anduril product lines end to end across multiple systems.

- Simulate production workload and data for those product lines so tests reflect what the factory actually does.

- Leverage AI to author, maintain, and triage tests faster.

- Reason about distributed architecture and reconcile intent, implementation, and observed production reality.

- Set test strategy, release readiness criteria, and quality gates for the release train.

- Build the observability, instrumentation, and environment strategy that turn a failing test or a production incident into a clear, actionable signal.

- Partner with engineering teams and business partners to move quality upstream into design and acceptance criteria.

- Contribute directly in code, infrastructure, and tooling to improve developer feedback loops, test reliability, and production stability.

- Support launch readiness, production issue response, root cause analysis, and post-incident follow-through.

- Set the technical standard for testing craft across Mission Control.

Required qualifications:

- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, software development engineering in test, site reliability engineering, quality engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a closely related role.

- Demonstrated experience building and operating automated integration or end-to-end test suites for production systems.

- Strong technical fluency in modern software architectures, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, and cloud or platform infrastructure.

- Experience reasoning about failures that cross system boundaries.

- Experience working with frontier AI tooling, AI coding assistants, or agentic systems.

- Ability to move between hands-on implementation and systems-level quality strategy.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

- Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related technical field.

- U.S. Person status.

Preferred qualifications:

- Experience testing enterprise or manufacturing systems.

- Experience generating or anonymizing production-like data and load for test environments.

- Experience with modern browser and API automation frameworks.

- Experience supporting AI-first or AI-accelerated engineering teams.

- Experience with infrastructure as code, cloud platforms, observability stacks, release engineering, and production operations.

- Experience in hyper growth startup-like environments.

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