Anduril brings cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to military applications.
As a Systems Test Engineer (Laser/Camera focus), you will own test activities in production and ensure the manufacturing test flow meets stringent quality standards. You'll provide hands-on troubleshooting for complex infrared systems issues discovered during testing and maintain test capabilities across the manufacturing value stream—from system-level checkouts and acceptance testing to component-level in-process validation.
Key responsibilities include:
- Generating test work instructions for technician teams in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and training technicians on equipment use
- Developing a library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guides and diagrams for rapid issue resolution
- Maintaining and developing software for test automation, data analytics, and report generation
- Performing root cause and corrective action analysis (RCCA) on product failures
- Collaborating with Design, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering teams on customer returns and failure analysis
- Contributing feedback to early-stage test design for new product introduction (NPI)
- Analyzing test data, documenting results, and providing detailed reports to identify defects and improvement areas
- Optimizing test strategies for efficiency and effectiveness while maintaining quality
- Maintaining and calibrating test equipment to ensure precision and reliability
- Supporting continuous improvement initiatives to enhance testing processes and methodologies
You'll work on fast-paced, highly technical, interdisciplinary teams and communicate effectively across departments to resolve production issues quickly.
