• Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams (hardware, software, firmware, and RF) to integrate and test new and existing EW products.
• Perform integration testing on subassemblies and full systems, spanning RF/digital hardware, firmware, embedded software, and application software layers.
• Design and implement automated tests to increase test coverage, repeatability, and overall testing efficiency.
• Triage and troubleshoot system‑level failures observed during integration and characterization to rapidly identify root causes.
• Analyze system telemetry and test data to reproduce issues, validate software/hardware fixes, and ensure system reliability.
• Serve as a key technical liaison to deploy Anduril’s integrated hardware‑software products, ensuring they meet customer and operational needs.
• Travel to support flight tests and system demonstrations at both internal and customer‑facing sites, validating Anduril’s EW capabilities in real‑world operational environments.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of relevant industry experience with a strong focus on hardware, software, and system‑level verification and validation testing.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Highly proficient with RF test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and vector network analyzers.
• Comfortable navigating Linux environments, utilizing command‑line interfaces, executing shell scripts, and working with debugging utilities.
• Experience using programming languages such as Python or MATLAB for data parsing, telemetry analysis, and test automation.
• Strong root‑cause analysis and troubleshooting skills to resolve complex, system‑level issues.
• Ability to travel up to 40% of the time to support testing, integration, and demonstrations at remote and outdoor field sites.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong organizational and interpersonal abilities.
• Currently hold and are able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Direct experience working with Software‑Defined Radios (SDRs) and EW systems.
• Familiarity with common wireless communication protocols and their associated test methodologies.
• Understanding of military standards (such as MIL‑STD‑810 or MIL‑STD‑461) and spectrum regulatory test methods.
• Thrive in fast‑paced, highly autonomous environments and can execute effectively with minimal direction.
• Experience using tools such as Jira and Confluence.
