Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Space team is expanding AI-powered capabilities for Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control, developing fully integrated hardware and software systems including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads.
As a Software Engineer, Systems Test, you will design, build, and deploy cutting-edge software and infrastructure that verifies the functionality and performance of integrated space systems and flight hardware. You will create robust, extensible, and automated test platforms used by Anduril engineers for testing at all levels of integration: unit-level testing, bus testing, technology-differentiated payloads, and full space vehicle systems. You will apply best practices in systems architecture and software development to ensure test software is resilient, maintainable, extensible, and highly automated. You will architect and execute software solutions for test execution, data collection, analysis, remote monitoring, and fleet-level reporting.
This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril's Space Business Line, requiring the building and fielding of resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads in collaboration with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable capabilities on operationally relevant fielding timelines.
Key responsibilities:
- Architect and develop cloud-based software tools for automated space system test execution, data collection, analysis, remote monitoring, and fleet-level reporting, with emphasis on extensibility and maintainability
- Design and build automated test software platforms for use by other Anduril engineers to verify hardware modules, buses, payloads, and full space vehicle systems
- Develop and maintain robust test reporting systems with clear logging for troubleshooting and anomaly resolution
- Create and analyze metrics for debugging and monitoring test system performance
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to integrate test software with satellite hardware, software, and firmware
- Integrate test software across numerous teams, identifying testing requirements and defining verification and validation strategies
REQUIREMENTS:
- Strong engineering background from industry or school in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
- Experience designing, developing, and deploying automated test software and systems architecture for complex hardware, ideally in aerospace or robotics
- Experience with cloud-based development, infrastructure, and data analysis tools
- Proven ability to design for extensibility, maintainability, and resilience in software platforms
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or similar for developing robust test automation solutions
- Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and detailed requirements
- Capable of solving complex technical problems with little oversight
- Clear communication and organizational skills, including writing technical documentation and training material
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Advanced expertise with Python, Go, Rust, or C++
- Experience with deployment tooling like Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Helm
- Experience developing distributed systems or microservices for test infrastructure
- Understanding of sensors and data acquisition electronics with experience developing software interfaces for them
- Experience with testing/validation leveraging FlatSats, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testbeds
