Electro-Mechanical Test Engineer - AUV FAT Lead

Anduril Industries; Rhode Island; On-site; USD 132,000 - 175,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is hiring a Manufacturing Test Engineer to lead full-vehicle FAT (dry and wet) on the Dive-XL program at the Quonset Point, RI campus. You will troubleshoot electromechanical systems, own test plans, and drive DFx feedback to the design team.

Responsibilities include setting up new test processes, leading technicians, and traveling to the Sydney team as needed to align test procedures across sites. A US Secret clearance eligibility is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electromechanical, electrical or computer engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of relevant experience, ideally designing tests for electromechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Hardware testing and automated test systems
• Bench equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs and programmable power supplies
• Manufacturing test limits and the common failure modes that manufacturing introduces
• Running programmed scripts in Python, MATLAB, shell or similar
• Communication protocols such as USB, Ethernet, RS‑232, RS‑485, PCIe, HDMI and CAN
• Complex electromechanical systems, and what it takes to make them work reliably
• Full system test plans you wrote and ran on fast product development timelines
• Programming and testing a wide range of sensors, actuators and electrical components
• A test you owned from prototype to execution, from the setup through the hardware and software, that you can walk us through in detail
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Responsibilities

• Run full-vehicle dry FAT and wet FAT in our test tank as test conductor, working with technicians on the floor
• Become the subject‑matter expert on the vehicle's mechanical and electromechanical checks
• Own the in‑water checks in wet FAT and confirm each vehicle is ready for delivery to the customer
• Own what gets tested and where: decide which tests add value and which repeat earlier checks
• Push tests upstream so problems are caught early and give DFt feedback
• Triage every failed test step and route to the right owner
• Troubleshoot vehicle‑level failures hands‑on and drive root cause analysis
• Design and maintain the test equipment, rigs and fixtures used in dry and wet FAT
• Keep FAT procedures matched to the as-built vehicle and train technicians
• Write troubleshooting runbooks with symptoms and fixes
• Use Python and AI coding tools to automate test sequences and build dashboards
• Travel to Sydney to coordinate with the offshore team
