## Description

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

As a Senior Instrumentation Engineer at Anduril, you will dive into unique, complex challenges that come with the territory of high-stakes, advanced technology in the defense sector.

## Responsibilities

- Conduct requirements decomposition using a wide array of digital tools to select and install only the necessary flight test instrumentation, and effectively communicate analytical insights to stakeholders.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with UAS discipline engineers, the Customer, Airworthiness subject matter experts, and program managers to inform safety of test, safety of flight, strategic decisions, and positively impact 'speed-to-ramp'.

- Spearhead technical investigations to diagnose instrumentation and RF telemetry issues, providing leadership in the interpretation of data and formulation of solutions to improve system reliability and efficiency.

- Design and implement analytics-driven customer-facing products that showcase system performance metrics, provide trend analysis, and enhance user understanding and experience across multiple platforms.

- Design, fabricate and install flight test instrumentation sensors, data paths and equipment into one of a kind experimental aircraft, often utilizing novel approaches.

- Perform test instrument calibrations and pre-flight checks in conjunction with discipline and manufacturing engineers as an approving signatory for GO/NO-GO flight test decisions.

- Operate and maintain a telemetry auto-tracking Ground System using COTS software and hardware.

- Travel from Anduril HQ to establish FTI and RF telemetry solutions in the high desert of California, Nevada, Texas, and Oregon up to 50% of the time.

## Core Qualifications

- Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.

- 5+ years notable experience with embedded data acquisition systems in manned or unmanned aircraft.

- Exceptional data visualization skills, with proficiency in using analytical tools (e.g., MATLAB, LabVIEW, Simulink) to advise the translation of complex data into accessible visual formats for diverse audiences.

- Demonstrated expertise in implementing high channel count mechanical measurement systems and architecting RF telemetry for near real-time display in a control room.

- A proven track record of implementing and troubleshooting grounding, bonding, and shielding solutions for analog-to-digital instrumentation signals in multi-band RF environments.

- Experience with composite and exotic material installations across varying flight test environments.

- A strong commitment to applying data science to solve real-world problems, with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable recommendations that have a tangible impact.

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage effectively with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, program managers, and non-technical stakeholders.

- Able to work extended hours as required.

- Ability to travel as required for test planning and execution.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Master of Science or B.S. plus 10 years experience with flight test instrumentation on various systems and high-gain, Aeronautical Telemetry Auto-tracking Ground System using COTS software and hardware.

- 5+ years experience setting up and administering high channel-count, RF telemetry systems with the Interactive Analysis and Display System (IADS).

- Knowledge of best practices for implementing RF ground planes and architecting RF telemetry systems for maximum RF range on composite aircraft systems.

- Leadership experience, with the ability to mentor less experienced discipline engineers and lead project teams in the execution of complex data acquisition initiatives.

- Experience working with 'Data-at-rest' multi-domain, encrypted storage devices on aircraft.
