Analytics Engineer, Hardware Test Data Pipelines

Anduril; Costa Mesa (CA); On-site; USD 146,000 - 194,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a data engineer to own end-to-end data workstreams across ingestion, transforms, and dashboards for the Hardware Test Data Operations team. You'll build Foundry pipelines, data models, and small services in Python or Go, collaborating with product, software, and infrastructure teams to deliver production-ready data products.

This role emphasizes autonomy, collaboration, and the ability to shape how the team collects and leverages data to boost velocity while

Qualifications

• 3+ years of data engineering, platform engineering, or equivalent experience owning data systems end-to-end.
• Strong Python and SQL; experience with DataFrame-based transforms (Pandas, PySpark, Polars, or similar)
• Experience owning a data pipeline or integration end-to-end from ingestion through to a downstream consumer (dashboard, service, or model)
• Hands-on experience integrating with REST APIs, webhooks, or third-party data sources
• Experience building internal-facing dashboards or analytics products — owning the full stack from data to UI
• Comfortable working on a small team (1-3 people) where scope is fluid and you’re often the only person on your piece of work
• Think like a data product owner — when building a pipeline or model, you can independently reason about downstream questions, not just data movement
• Write clear design docs and RFCs that align stakeholders, not just serve as documentation after the fact
• Experience with ontology modeling or data modeling for heterogeneous sources
• U.S. Persons status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data

Responsibilities

• Own data workstreams end-to-end from ingestion to dashboards and tools that consume them.
• Build and maintain Foundry pipelines, data models, and data quality checks.
• Build internal-facing dashboards and analytics products serving flight test engineers, middle management and leadership.
• Write small production services (Python or Go) when integrations demand it.
• Partner with product-line Hardware Test leads, software and infrastructure teams to align on data contracts and ingestion patterns.
• Write clear design docs and RFCs that align stakeholders before code ships
