Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking a Test Engineer to join the Maritime team in Costa Mesa, California. This role focuses on systems integration and comprehensive testing of advanced surface platforms powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system for military command and control.
You will support the full lifecycle of maritime platform development, from subsystem integration through field operations. Key responsibilities include developing and executing test plans for development, integration, and acceptance testing; managing the integration of sensors, navigation, propulsion, communication, autonomy software, and power systems; conducting hands-on troubleshooting and maintenance of surface platforms; and authoring detailed operational test reports.
The role involves substantial field work, including multi-day offshore operations and pre/post-mission logistics.
