As a Software Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will build, scale, and maintain the software that drives our manufacturing test systems. ## Responsibilities - Maintain ownership of software manufacturing test activities in production, ensuring test station uptime, operator usability, and smooth factory throughput - Develop and maintain PLC-integrated station control software , commanding industrial controllers over Modbus TCP for rig actuation, interlocks, and sensor acquisition - Build hardware-free simulation environments (containerized station images, virtual CAN replay, device simulators) so test software is developed and regression-tested without occupying hardware - Design, build, and maintain production software manufacturing test suites primarily in Python (for hardware control, test sequencing, and instrument automation) and C# (for test executives, operator interfaces, and background services) - Integrate software manufacturing test applications directly with sensors, DAQs, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and vehicle compute hardware - Implement low-level hardware communication using embedded protocols including UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232 to command, flash, and validate devices under test (DUTs) - Deploy, configure, and debug software manufacturing test systems running on Linux/Unix platforms using terminal command-line tools, SSH, and network debugging utilities - Leverage Nix and NixOS to manage reproducible software manufacturing test environments, eliminating dependency drift between engineering development benches and production line stations - Collaborate with hardware and firmware engineers during early-stage product development (NPI) to define software manufacturing test requirements, coverage, APIs, and pass/fail limits - Automate software manufacturing test execution across various levels of assembly, from PCBA-level functional test (FCT) up to full-system and Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) checkouts - Provide hands-on troubleshooting and root-cause analysis (RCCA) for complex electrical, firmware, and software manufacturing test issues found on the line - Log parametric test data and integrate software manufacturing test stations with database systems (using SQL queries as needed) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to maintain complete hardware traceability - Develop clear operator interfaces, error-handling mechanisms, and software manufacturing test troubleshooting logs to assist technicians during hardware failures - Support continuous improvement initiatives to optimize software manufacturing test sequences, shorten cycle times, and increase test coverage without sacrificing quality ## Required Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields - 3+ years of relevant industry experience as a Software Manufacturing Test Engineer, or in an equivalent role with an emphasis on software development for hardware test automation, lab automation, or manufacturing environments - Strong proficiency writing production code in Python for software manufacturing test automation, device control, and data handling - Working knowledge of C# (.NET) for developing software manufacturing test applications, operator UIs, or system services - Strong Linux/Unix systems knowledge, including terminal proficiency, shell scripting, SSH, and network configuration/debugging - Demonstrated hands-on experience interfacing software manufacturing test suites with embedded communication protocols: UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232 - Familiarity with controlling standard test equipment (programmable power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and DAQ devices) via software - Strong root-cause analysis skills for diagnosing hardware-software boundary issues using log files, terminal outputs, and basic bench tools - Experience integrating software manufacturing test platforms with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and database backends - Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills to collaborate with hardware, software, and operations teams - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience with Nix and NixOS for declarative software manufacturing test environment management and deployment - C programming knowledge - Familiarity with SQL for direct database querying and test record validation - Basic familiarity with HTML/CSS for formatting internal software manufacturing test run reports or local dashboard views - Experience working with contract manufacturers in software manufacturing test execution for PCBA and electronic assemblies - Familiarity with hardware protocols such as Ethernet, USB, PCIe, and SPI/I2C - Experience developing software manufacturing test solutions for aerospace, defense, or automotive hardware under environmental stress conditions (Thermal, Vibration, Burn-in) - Active U.S. Secret or Top Secret security clearance ## Benefits Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) to support health, recovery, and overall well-being. ## Skills ### Required -
