About the role

Electrical Test Technician to join Anduril’s Hardware Platform Organization, embedded in the Hardware Engineering Services team in a fast-paced R&D lab. Build test infrastructure and cable harnesses, fabricate mil-spec harnesses, and work with electrical engineers to bring hardware from prototype to test.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build custom electrical test racks, test fixtures, and ground support equipment (GSE) from engineering drawings, BOMs, and minimal instructions often as the first article in a fast-changing R&D environment
  • Fabricate and terminate cable harnesses to IPC-620 Class 3 standards using mil-spec connectors including D38999, Mighty Mouse (Glenair), Amphenol, micro-D, and coaxial/RF assemblies; perform backshell integration, band-it clamping, and EMI shielding termination
  • Set up, execute, and document electrical test procedures including continuity, hi-pot, insulation resistance, and functional validation; record findings in test records and communicate issues to engineering
  • Operate and configure bench test equipment oscilloscopes (including triggering and signal acquisition), power supplies, electronic loads, function generators, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and DAQ systems
  • Troubleshoot electrical assemblies and systems to the component level using systematic root cause analysis; drive issues to resolution independently or in direct collaboration with engineers
  • Perform PCBA rework and repair to IPC-610 standards, including SMT and through-hole components
  • Work directly with electrical engineers to interpret drawings, redline documentation, flag design or BOM discrepancies, and propose build solutions including from in-progress or incomplete work instructions
  • Support setup, execution, and troubleshooting of EMI/EMC test configurations per MIL-STD-461 and RTCA DO-160

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience building custom electrical test racks, test fixtures, or cable harnesses in an R&D, prototype, or aerospace/defense environment
  • Demonstrated fabrication experience with mil-spec circular connectors specifically D38999, Mighty Mouse, Glenair, Amphenol, or equivalent including crimping, insertion/extraction tooling, backshell integration, and band-it clamping for EMI shielding
  • Current or previously held IPC-620 certification (CIS or CIT); must be able to recertify upon hire
  • Current or previously held J-STD-001 soldering certification; must be able to recertify upon hire
  • Proficiency configuring and operating oscilloscopes including triggering modes, vertical/horizontal scaling, and signal acquisition as well as power supplies, electronic loads, and DMMs
  • Ability to read and build from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and BOMs with incomplete or in-progress documentation; proactively identifies and escalates discrepancies before building
  • U.S. Person status required as this position needs to access export-controlled data
  • Ability to lift a minimum of 25 lbs unassisted

Skills

Required:Electrical test rack and fixture designCable harness fabrication and terminationMIL-SPEC connectors (D38999, Mighty Mouse, Glenair, Amphenol)Soldering (IPC-J-STD-001)
Nice to have:IPC-620/IPC-610 certifications

Benefits

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees (health, recovery, and future planning)
