## Description

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

We are seeking a hands-on Systems Engineer to join our team as we transition a Ladar product from the Engineering Development Unit (EDU) phase through Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD), and ultimately into high-rate production.

## Responsibilities

- Drive the EDU-to-EMD Transition: Oversee the deployment and test of our EDU builds, ensuring they are fully prepared to support field testing to demonstrate system capability and performance.

- Lead Qualification & Testing: Design and execute a comprehensive Design Verification Testing (DVT) campaign to environmentally test and qualify the system.

- Prepare for Major Milestones: Author technical documentation, define verification matrices, and lead systems-level preparation for upcoming Critical Design Reviews (CDR) and Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR).

- Scale for Production: Collaborate with manufacturing and hardware teams to implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles. Scale our production capabilities from a few units per year to a target volume of ~10s of systems per month.

- Optimize Test Infrastructure: Architect, design, and ruggedize manufacturing test equipment for efficiency, throughput, and reliability on the production floor.

- Automate & Integrate: Collaborate with software and firmware teams to implement robust test automation, while pushing the user interface (UI) and background software towards product-level maturity.

- Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models, and validate models against laboratory and real world data

- Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations

## Required Qualifications

- EO/Ladar Domain Expertise: 5+ years of hardware-centric systems engineering experience working with Electro-Optical (EO) systems, Ladar/Lidar, or high-precision pointing systems.

- Development-to-Production Experience: Direct experience transitioning complex, multidisciplinary systems from low Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) to high TRL / production-ready status.

- Testing & Environmental Qualification: Strong familiarity with DVT campaigns, environmental testing standards, and field testing operations.

- Production Scaling Mindset: Practical knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), test equipment ruggedization, and test process optimization/automation.

- Milestone Execution: Experience leading or heavily contributing to systems engineering reviews such as CDR, MRR, or PRR.

- Collaboration & Communication: Outstanding ability to communicate across multidisciplinary teams (optical, mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, and manufacturing).

- Advanced proficiency in an analytical toolchains/languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python)

- Strong laboratory skills (e.g. design of experiments)

- Willingness to travel to test sites.

- Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with software/hardware integration, specifically defining software interfaces, UI productization, and background software requirements.

- Experience with software/firmware automated test frameworks.

- Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms

## Skills

### Required
- Electro-Optical systems
- Ladar/Lidar
- high-precision pointing systems
- Design Verification Testing
- Design for Manufacturing
- test automation
- MATLAB
- Python

### Nice to have
- software/hardware integration
- software/firmware automated test frameworks
- advanced sensing systems
