Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops AI-powered systems and cutting-edge autonomy, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology for military applications.
As a Hardware Test Engineer (Laser/Camera Test focus), you will own test activities in production and ensure stringent quality standards are met before systems ship to customers. You'll troubleshoot complex infrared systems issues, maintain test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream from system-level checkouts to component-level validation, and generate clear test work instructions for technician teams.
Key responsibilities include:
- Maintain ownership of production test flow and provide hands-on troubleshooting for infrared systems
- Develop and maintain test capabilities across manufacturing—from system acceptance testing to in-process component validation
- Create test work instructions and train technicians on equipment use
- Build a library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guides for rapid issue resolution
- Develop software for test automation, data analytics, and report generation
- Perform root cause analysis (RCCA) on product failures and recommend corrective actions
- Collaborate with Design, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering teams on customer returns and failure analysis
- Contribute feedback to early-stage test design for new products (NPI)
- Analyze test data, document results, and provide detailed reports identifying defects and improvement areas
- Work with design engineers to recommend product enhancements based on test outcomes
- Optimize test strategies for efficiency and effectiveness without compromising quality
- Maintain and calibrate test equipment for precision and reliability
- Support continuous improvement initiatives
You should thrive in fast-paced, highly technical, interdisciplinary teams and communicate effectively across functions to resolve issues quickly.
