Job description

Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking an Integration and Test Engineer with electrical expertise to join the Maneuver Dominance team. This role focuses on designing, building, and sustaining Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) capabilities for autonomous air vehicle development, bridging simulation software with physical hardware testing.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain HITL/Ironbird electrical infrastructure including harness diagrams, breakout boxes, switching mechanisms, and PCB designs
• Support procurement, physical setup, configuration, and maintenance of HITLs with integrated hardware, compute, networking, and sensors
• Troubleshoot real-time simulation issues including timing constraints, hardware interface problems, and model fidelity discrepancies
• Develop diagnostics, telemetry, and fault-injection capabilities for controlled failure testing and system behavior evaluation
• Automate HITL health checks, setup, configuration, deployment, and test execution while establishing testing best practices
• Collaborate with software, systems, simulation, and hardware engineers to identify and resolve integration issues

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering, Computer Science, or similar
• Hands-on experience architecting, developing, and sustaining HITL/Ironbird labs for Group 4 or 5 UAS, aerospace, or defense vehicle programs
• Proficiency with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, Saleae Logic Analyzers, Wireshark, PEAK-System CAN interfaces
• Understanding of software/hardware interfaces, networking, and electrical bus protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-232/422/485, MIL-STD-1553)
• Experience leading LRU-, subsystem-, and system-level integration of electrical systems, harnesses, and electro-mechanical assemblies
• Ability to design harnesses, breakout boxes, simple PCBs, and switching mechanisms
• Strong debugging across software and hardware boundaries; experience with Python, C++, Linux, GitHub, and Jira
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in United States, United Kingdom, or Australia

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Nix
