# Lab & Integration Lead **Company**: Anduril Industries **Location**: Costa Mesa, California **Work arrangement**: onsite **Experience**: senior **Job type**: full-time **Salary**: $191,000-$254,000 USD **Category**: Engineering **Industry**: Technology **Apply**: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/andurilindustries/jobs/5286795007?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply **Canonical**: https://yubhub.co/job/lab-and-integration-lead-9ca1493c-8fc/ ## Description Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. You will be the technical lead for the integration lab fleet behind our flagship autonomous air vehicle: software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop rigs for vehicle management, flight controls and mission systems, plus an iron bird with hydraulics, loaded actuation and power. **Responsibilities** - Own the lab architecture and rig design. Define and baseline the lab architecture: rig block diagrams, lab network, HITL host and simulation, data recording, and the rig interfaces. - Lead bring-up at the bench. Be hands-on through first light of each rig: safe-to-mate, power-on and BIT, LRU checkout, and host/sim reference-scenario runs. - Define what “operational” means. Own a single rig operational-readiness checklist, agreed with the build team, and run the readiness review before any rig is declared operational. - Keep every rig under configuration control. Baseline each rig’s configuration, audit it before the first for-record run, and record as-tested configuration for every formal run. - Own lab capacity and the integrated lab schedule. Model rig-hours demanded against rig-hours available by month. - Allocate hardware to rigs. Own the LRU allocation plan, assigning engineering, qualification and flight LRUs to each rig, agreed with the avionics and mission systems teams. - Say what each environment proves. Set rig fidelity, the simulation and model validation approach, and test data capture standards. - Run integration on the rigs. Set integration entry and exit criteria for each software release, run daily integration triage across software, avionics, mission systems and lab issues. - Make the lab safe and accredited. Own the lab hazard analysis, the lab network and cyber accreditation path with Product Security, and classified lab space and accreditation with Security. - Plan for the lots, not just first flight. Assess the rig delta for each new hardware lot, and own the sustainment, spares, calibration, obsolescence and retirement plan. - Lead and grow the team. Hire, mentor and lead lab and integration engineers and technicians. - Make it portable. Turn what works here into the PEI lab and integration playbook. **Required Qualifications** - B.S. in electrical, computer, aerospace or mechanical engineering, or a similar technical field. - 7+ years designing, building, operating or integrating SIL, HIL, iron-bird or avionics integration labs for aircraft, missiles or space systems. - Hands-on avionics and electrical integration: reading and reviewing harness drawings and pin-to-pins, MIL-DTL-38999-class connectors, safe-to-mate, aircraft power distribution, and bench instrumentation. - Working knowledge of avionics data buses and networks such as Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, RS-422/485 and CAN, and time synchronization. - Experience with real-time HITL host and simulation environments, plant models, I/O and data-acquisition hardware, and data recording. - Experience running configuration control of test assets and producing as-run records for formal qualification or for-record testing. - Proficiency in Linux and in Python or similar scripting for lab automation and data analysis. - Ability to plan lab capacity, track long-lead procurement against an integrated master schedule, and bring problems forward while there is still time to act. - Clear, direct communication with software, hardware, test and program leads. - Currently holds an active U.S. Secret security clearance and is able to obtain and maintain Top Secret. **Preferred Qualifications** - Iron bird experience, including hydraulic systems, loaded actuation, flight controls or starter-generator / power loading. - Mission systems integration experience: EO/IR, electronic warfare, datalinks, crypto and key management, and C2 ground segments. - Classified lab accreditation experience and familiarity with TEMPEST and secure lab design. - Experience standing up a multi-rig lab from scratch with several builds in flight at once. - Lab automation and continuous integration on HIL rigs: automated regression, test frameworks and results dashboards. - Familiarity with MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, and linking verification evidence to a system model. - Flight test or ground test support experience on a developmental aircraft program.
