Anduril's Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) Manufacturing Engineering team is seeking a Manager of Manufacturing Test Engineering to lead a multi-disciplinary test engineering team supporting our full portfolio of autonomous aircraft, cruise missiles, and loitering munitions. **Responsibilities** - Lead and manage a team of approximately 16 manufacturing test engineers across firmware, hardware, software, electrical, and data acquisition disciplines. - Own the manufacturing test strategy across AD&S programs , from board-level PCBA test through subsystem, integration, and full system acceptance testing. - Drive the development and deployment of production test systems, fixtures, and automation that meet throughput, reliability, and quality requirements at rate. - Work cross-functionally with design engineering, quality, operations, supply chain, and program management on a daily basis to align test capability with product development timelines and production schedules. - Collaborate with design engineering teams early in the development cycle to influence testability requirements, test point access, boundary scan architecture, and built-in test capability. - Establish and maintain test engineering standards, processes, and documentation , including test procedures, acceptance criteria, failure analysis workflows, and data management practices. - Drive test automation strategy to increase throughput, reduce operator dependency, and improve test coverage and repeatability. - Partner with quality engineering to ensure test processes support first-pass yield goals, defect containment, and root cause investigation. - Manage the test equipment roadmap , selection, procurement, qualification, calibration, and lifecycle management of test assets across production sites. - Build and maintain robust data acquisition and analysis capabilities that enable data-driven decisions on product quality and process performance. - Support the transfer of test capability to new production sites, ensuring test systems, documentation, and training are production-ready at each location. - Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement within the test engineering team. - Manage budgets and forecast future test engineering needs, including personnel, equipment, and infrastructure. - Serve as the escalation point for complex test failures, anomalies, and production-blocking issues requiring cross-functional resolution. - Travel to production sites, suppliers, and partner facilities as needed. **Requirements** - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field. - 6+ years of experience in test engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a related discipline, with at least 2 years in a leadership or management role. - Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a multi-disciplinary engineering team across hardware, software, firmware, and electrical test domains. - Strong technical foundation in production test system design, development, and deployment for electronics and electromechanical products. - Experience with test automation frameworks, test executive software (LabVIEW, TestStand, Python-based, or similar), and data acquisition systems. - Proven ability to work cross-functionally across design engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations , and to drive alignment without positional authority over those teams. - Understanding of test strategies across the product lifecycle: design verification, production screening, acceptance testing, and field return analysis. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to drive root cause analysis and corrective action on complex test failures. - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively at all levels of the organization from technicians to executives. - Experience managing budgets, equipment procurement, and vendor relationships for test engineering programs. - Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth environment across several concurrent programs. - Personal experience with hands-on test development, debug, or troubleshooting of electronic systems. **Preferred Qualifications** - Master's degree in engineering or a related field. - Experience in aerospace or defense production test environments, particularly with qualified or flight-critical hardware. - Familiarity with AS9100/AS9102 quality management systems and their implications for test process control. - Experience standing up test capabilities at new production sites or scaling test infrastructure for rate production. - Background in boundary scan (JTAG), in-circuit test (ICT), functional test, environmental stress screening (ESS), or system-level acceptance test. - Experience with test data analytics, statistical process control, or automated reporting pipelines. - Knowledge of configuration management and version control practices for test software and firmware. - Appropriate clearance classification. **Benefits** Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) that ensures you're supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next. ## Skills ### Required -
