## Description

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

As a Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will maintain end-to-end ownership of the aircraft's testing lifecycle on the production line. In this role, you will design, write, and execute critical test procedures,to verify flight-readiness, system safety, and sensor performance before the aircraft leaves the factory floor.

## Responsibilities

- Author Test Procedures: Write, validate, and maintain clear, step-by-step assembly-level and vehicle-level Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and functional test plans to verify safety-of-flight systems on the Fury aircraft.

- Execute Aircraft Testing: Hands-on execution of system-level checkouts, including power-on testing, flight control actuation sweeps, wire harness continuity, sensor calibrations, and integrated avionics testing.

- Troubleshoot Flight Hardware: Diagnose complex electrical, communication, and mechanical integration failures discovered during testing; identify root causes and implement Corrective Actions.

- Technician Training & Enablement: Train, certify, and support the aircraft technician team on executing test procedures, utilizing specialized aerospace ground support equipment, and logging results in the Manufacturing Execution System.

- Continuous Improvement: Analyze test data and cycle times to identify bottlenecks on the flight line; continuously optimize ATPs and automated test scripts to reduce test duration without sacrificing quality or safety.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Flight Test, Quality, and Design Engineering teams to feed production test data back into the design loop, facilitating rapid design updates and product enhancements.

- Improve and sustain existing test systems to improve automation, consistency, total cycle time, and test coverage.

- Develop library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guide/diagrams for fast issue resolution.

- Work with Design, Quality and Manufacturing Engineering teams to support customer returns and failure analysis.

- Collaborate with design engineers to provide feedback and recommendations for product enhancements based on test outcomes.

- Optimize test strategies for efficiency and effectiveness, reducing test time without compromising quality.

- Maintain and calibrate test equipment to ensure precision and reliability.

## Requirements

- Education: Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.

- Experience: 5+ years of experience in a production test environment, with a strong focus on aircraft, UAV, or complex aerospace system-level testing.

- Testing Expertise: Proven experience writing and executing hardware-in-the-loop testing, system-level ATPs, and avionics functional checkouts on an active production line.

- Technical Skills: Familiarity with aircraft communication protocols and standard electronics test equipment.

- Software Familiarity: Comfortable utilizing Product Life Cycle and Manufacturing Execution Systems to manage test configurations and documentation.

- Communication: Excellent technical writing skills with a proven track record of translating complex engineering requirements into clear technician instructions.

- Security Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
