## Description

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

The Maritime Manufacturing Technology team is responsible for rapidly developing, manufacturing, and qualifying mission-critical defense hardware. As a Senior Test Engineer, you will lead hardware integration, environmental qualification, and functional test execution for mission-critical maritime and subsea hardware.

## Responsibilities

- HITL & Functional Qualification Testing: Own HITL test architecture, test plan generation, and execution across major assets. Validate system sequencing, sensor/actuator response, and fault modes under real-world operating conditions.

- Hydrostatic & Pressure Vessel Testing: Design, build, and oversee high-pressure hydrostatic proof, burst, and cyclic pressure test setups for mission-critical subsea hardware and pressure-boundary structures.

- Digital Thread & Model Correlation: Integrate test data directly back into the digital thread and collaborate closely with Stress and Structural Analysis Engineers to validate margin calculations, finite element models, and failure-mode predictions.

- End-to-End Test Campaign Execution & OQE: Drive testing from coupon-level mechanical evaluations up to full-scale integrated asset testing. Generate comprehensive test data packages and OQE to substantiate qualification claims for government and prime contractor partners.

- Test Infrastructure & Lab Operations: Partner with internal facilities and external ISO/IEC 17025 accredited mechanical and calibration testing laboratories to scope, schedule, instrument, and conduct complex environmental and structural test plans.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.

- 7+ years of demonstrated experience in hardware test execution, integration, and qualification testing on high-consequence hardware.

- Demonstrated hands-on proficiency executing HITL, electro-mechanical functional testing, and high-pressure hydrostatic testing.

- Proven experience defining instrumentation suites and modern data acquisition architectures.

- Strong track record of preparing test plans, test readiness reviews, and formal qualification reports/OQE packages for defense or marine customers.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Prior experience with subsea mechanical systems and deconstruction/test programs.

- Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and digital thread traceability platforms.

- Experience scripting automated test sequences and data processing routines in Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW.

- Working knowledge of heavy metallic fabrication, weld qualification processes, and metallurgy test standards.

- Active U.S. DoD Secret or Top Secret security clearance.

## Benefits

Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits packages available at little to no cost to employees.
