Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer to own the aircraft testing lifecycle on the Fury production line, design and execute ATPs, train technicians, troubleshoot avionics, and drive continuous improvement to scale production.

Responsibilities

  • Author Test Procedures: Write, validate, and maintain clear, step-by-step assembly-level and vehicle-level Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and functional test plans to verify safety-of-flight systems on the Fury aircraft.
  • Execute Aircraft Testing: Hands-on execution of system-level checkouts, including power-on testing, flight control actuation sweeps, wire harness continuity, sensor calibrations, and integrated avionics testing.
  • Troubleshoot Flight Hardware: Diagnose complex electrical, communication, and mechanical integration failures discovered during testing; identify root causes and implement Corrective Actions (CAPA/RCCA).
  • Technician Training & Enablement: Train, certify, and support the aircraft technician team on executing test procedures, utilizing specialized aerospace ground support equipment (GSE), and logging results in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
  • Continuous Improvement: Analyze test data and cycle times to identify bottlenecks on the flight line; continuously optimize ATPs and automated test scripts to reduce test duration without sacrificing quality or safety.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Flight Test, Quality, and Design Engineering teams to feed production test data back into the design loop, facilitating rapid design updates and product enhancements.
  • Improve and sustain existing test systems to improve automation, consistency, total cycle time, and test coverage (DfM)
  • Develop library of common failure modes with troubleshooting guide/diagrams for fast issue resolution
  • Work with Design, Quality and Manufacturing Engineering teams to support customer returns and failure analysis
  • Collaborate with design engineers to provide feedback and recommendations for product enhancements based on test outcomes
