Subsea Robotics Manufacturing Test Engineer

Anduril Industries; United States; On-site; USD 132,000 - 175,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a Manufacturing Test Engineer to advance subsea robotics testing and acceptance at a cutting-edge startup pace. You will develop high-fidelity test procedures for the AUV portfolio, collaborating with engineering and electro-mechanical technicians to scale production while maintaining quality.

Responsibilities include optimizing offshore test design, automating post-mission analysis, and building a broad test capability across the manufacturing value stream.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, EE/Computer Engineering, Ocean Engineering or related field, or equivalent work experience
• 5+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably test design of electro-mechanical hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Experience in analyzing or reviewing sonar and/or acoustic data from subsea sensors
• Well versed with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and/or offshore robotics testing and are passionate about understanding what it takes to make them work reliably
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab, SHELL, or others
• Have experience developing full system test plans and know how to execute them on fast-paced product development timelines
• Have experience with programming/testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and electrical components
• Bias for action – if you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it
• Can prototype and run your own tests, from experimental setup to hardware and software implementation
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance

Responsibilities

• Optimize test design and execution of offshore acceptance testing of AUVs, including test plan generation, fixture development, and data analysis tools
• Collaborate with Systems/Test and Evaluation teams throughout product development cycles to perform risk assessments, transition test campaign to operationalized production testing, drive reductions in offshore acceptance test cycles, and mature in-factory acceptance testing within production line
• Develop automated post-mission analysis tools to evaluate vehicle performance through acceptance test
• Build a broad range of test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream - from system level checkouts and acceptance testing to key component level in process validation
• Develop, execute, and manage test ecosystem to de-risk hardware and ensure product meets target reliability levels and ultimate design intent
• Perform hands‑on and data-driven root cause analysis of electromechanical subsystems utilizing structured problem solving methodologies
• Design and implement semi-automated testing equipment/protocols for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing
• Produce and maintain testing logs/data, develop library of error codes with troubleshooting logic/diagrams for fast issue resolution
