Descrizione del lavoro

Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, seeks a Hardware Engineer for Special Projects to act as a core technical problem solver. You’ll be deployed across programs to diagnose hardware integration issues, stand up demos, write test automation, or build dashboards to track yield and test results.

The role requires breadth across mechanical, electronic, software, and systems thinking, with a focus on fast, impactful execution and collaboration with design, manufacturing, supply chain,

Competenze

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Systems Engineering.
• 5+ years of engineering experience spanning at least two of: systems engineering, electromechanical hardware, embedded electronics, test/integration, software or scripting, manufacturing engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to move between disparate technical domains and deliver results without extended ramp‑up time.
• Hands‑on experience with hardware — you’ve designed fixtures, debugged assemblies, run tests, or worked on a production floor, not just written requirements documents.
• Working proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language (Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar) with demonstrated application to test automation, data analysis, or tooling.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to brief executives, write clear technical reports, and document procedures that other engineers can follow.
• Comfort operating with ambiguous scope and shifting priorities; you define the problem as much as you solve it.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Mansioni

• Own and execute short-duration, high-impact technical projects across Core Tech, scoped anywhere from a few days to a few months, spanning hardware, software, test, manufacturing, and process domains.
• Diagnose and resolve cross-functional technical issues (integration failures, test escapes, supplier quality problems, production-line bottlenecks) by getting hands-on with the hardware, the data, or the code as needed.
• Plan and execute customer and internal demonstrations end-to-end: define the demo architecture, coordinate resources, prepare technical materials, verify system readiness, and run the demo.
• Develop test software, automation scripts, and data-analysis tools (Python, MATLAB, or similar) to close verification gaps, improve test coverage, or reduce manual effort.
• Build dashboards, reports, and data pipelines that give engineering and leadership visibility into yield, test results, or other operational or test metrics. Identify and bridge gaps that can emerge from speedy development cycles—documentation, technical debt, etc
• Perform system-level analysis and trade studies when programs need fast, informed technical input on architecture decisions, component selection, or integration strategy.
• Work directly with design engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, test, quality, and operations teams, often simultaneously, to drive resolution on problems that don't fit neatly into one team's charter.
