Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

We are looking to bring in a Product Test Engineer to support our test equipment deployment to various manufacturing and contract manufacturing sites and support in identifying testing improvement and solutions to our internal test development team. This person will work with the rest of the organization to identify gaps in test coverage, perform initial root cause analysis on failed products and support in implementing changes necessary to ensure product quality. A strong Product Test Engineer will need to have a proven track record of performing root cause analysis on field or manufacturing defect failures with a background in integration and sustainment.

What You’ll Do

• Own manufacturing test strategy and coverage across product development, NPI, and production.
• Drive improvements in manufacturing test architecture, automation, scalability, reliability, and production readiness.
• Design, integrate, troubleshoot, and sustain automated manufacturing test systems consisting of instrumentation, fixtures, custom electronics, and software.
• Serve as the primary Product Test Engineering representative at the Ohio manufacturing site, driving technical decisions and supporting manufacturing operations with minimal day-to-day supervision.
• Independently prioritize, manage, and execute multiple manufacturing test initiatives while collaborating with Design, Quality, Manufacturing, and Operations teams.
• Lead manufacturing test deployments, factory bring-up, and sustainment activities at internal and contract manufacturing sites.
• Mentor technicians and provide technical guidance to future Product Test Engineers as the Ohio team grows.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of relevant experience developing, deploying, or sustaining automated manufacturing test systems for electronic products.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers in the testing and validation of PCBA and electronic assemblies.
• Hands-on experience developing automated test applications in LabVIEW is required. Experience with Python and/or C# is highly desired.
• Familiarity with electronics test equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, digital multimeters, function generators, data acquisition systems, and measurement instrumentation.
• Strong root cause analysis and troubleshooting skills for electrical, electromechanical, and manufacturing test systems.
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals including analog and digital circuits, power electronics, communication interfaces, signal integrity, and system-level debugging.
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, and communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to operate with a high degree of ownership, make sound engineering decisions independently, and effectively represent Product Test Engineering at a remote manufacturing site.
• Ability to travel and support manufacturing test integration, commissioning, deployment, and sustainment activities at domestic and international manufacturing sites as required.
• Comfortable with up to 25% travel.
• This role will be temporarily based out of our HQ in Costa Mesa, CA for 1 month of training.
• Security clearance eligibility required.

Preferred Qualification:

• 10+ years of relevant industry experience in manufacturing test engineering.
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience developing automated manufacturing test systems using LabVIEW, NI TestStand, or similar test automation frameworks.
• Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI), manufacturing transfers, and production ramp activities.
• Experience troubleshooting analog, digital, mixed-signal, power electronics, battery/BMS, or embedded hardware systems.
• Experience designing or debugging manufacturing test fixtures, interface hardware, and automated test equipment.
• Experience working with production yield analysis, statistical process control (SPC), and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Previous experience serving as the primary engineering support for a manufacturing site or product line.
