Integration and Test Lead (Powertrain), Omen

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

You will own all Powertrain integration and test activities across increasingly mature environments,from discrete bench tests through Hardware In Lab (HIL), Hardware In The Loop (HITL), surrogate platforms, and flight test.

The Powertrain scope encompasses electric machines, inverters, gearboxes, battery modules, battery management systems (BMS), high voltage distribution, powertrain controllers, power conditioning, and associated thermal management systems.

Responsibilities

• Own all powertrain (propulsion drive, battery, hybrid management) test activities from concept through production across increasingly mature integration environments
• Develop, review, and execute right-sized test plans for Powertrain system integration, efficiently capturing and reporting learnings, and making recommendations as inputs to design
• Lead integration and characterization of electric machines, inverters, gearboxes, battery modules, BMS, high voltage distribution, powertrain controllers, and power conditioning components
• Support development and operation of the Powertrain surrogate for integrated powertrain characterization and control tuning
• Focus on the safety of integration environments, ensuring that potential harm to team members is eliminated by design, with particular attention to high voltage and stored energy hazards
• Implement and maintain processes for configuration control of Powertrain integration environments
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), ground test, and flight test of prototype and production representative systems

Required Qualifications and Attributes

• Bachelor degree or higher in Electrical, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems or aviation related technical engineering discipline
• 5+ years experience in integration and test of hybrid powertrain systems
• Extensive knowledge of high voltage electric drive systems including motors/generators, inverters, and power electronics
• Experience with powertrain dynamometer testing, motor characterization, and gearbox acceptance testing
• Adept at working safely with high voltage systems (400V+), including integration, checkout, test, and safe discharge procedures
• Strong test engineering foundation , DAQ setup and operation, sensor selection and installation, fluency in common communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, Serial), and command line interface (CLI)
• Extremely organized and detail-oriented, excellent verbal and written communication skills (effective for broad audiences)
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
• Defense Industry background desirable
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in United States, United Kingdom, or Australia
