About the role

Anduril is seeking an Integration and Test Engineer with a strong electrical focus to develop and scale Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) capabilities for an early-stage autonomous air vehicle program at the Costa Mesa HQ, focusing on HITL design, build, sustainment, and integration across hardware, software, and simulation.

Responsibilities

  • - Develop and maintain the HITL/Ironbird electrical infrastructure that bridges our simulation software to Hardware-In-The-Loop testing, enabling a seamless testing experience for hardware, software, and flight test engineers
  • - Develop system architecture including harness diagrams, breakout boxes, switching mechanisms, and PCB designs
  • - Support part procurement, physical stand-up, configuration, and maintenance of open-loop and closed-loop HITLs, and the integration of hardware, compute, networking, sensors, and other components required for HITL testing
  • - Troubleshoot and resolve real-time simulation issues during HITL operations, including timing constraints, hardware interface problems, and model fidelity discrepancies
  • - Develop diagnostics and telemetry debug capabilities that provide visibility into system state and enable efficient troubleshooting of integration and test failures
  • - Coordinate harness build and other electrical tasks with electrical engineering technicians
  • - Develop fault-injection capabilities that enable controlled failures and degraded conditions to be introduced for system behavior evaluation
  • - Develop configuration management tracking tools to maintain consistent and reproducible HITL configurations
  • - Automate HITL health checks, setup, configuration, deployment, and test execution to reduce manual effort and improve repeatability
  • - Understand and contribute to HITL software architecture and test framework
  • - Establish testing best practices that enable HITL systems to be used as a reliable part of the development and integration lifecycle
  • - Work closely with software, systems, simulation, and hardware engineers to identify and resolve integration and test issues
  • - Act with a strong safety mindset (”Stop, Think, Do”) while operating in prototype and experimental environments with the aim of eliminating potential harm to team members
  • - Follow established procedures and identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, and efficiency

Qualifications

  • - Bachelor’s Degree (or similar) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering, Computer Science, or similar
  • - Experience architecting, developing, and sustaining HITL/Ironbird labs for Group 4 or 5 UAS, aerospace, or defense vehicle integration and test environment
  • - Hands-on skillset debugging within a lab space with oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and other electrical test equipment
  • - Experience using diagnostic and protocol analysis tools such as Saleae Logic Analyzers, Wireshark, PEAK-System CAN interfaces, or similar tools
  • - Understanding of software/hardware interfaces, networking, and electrical bus protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-232/422/485, MIL-STD-1553)
  • - Experience leading and troubleshooting LRU-, subsystem-, system-level integration and bring-up of electrical systems, harnesses, and electro-mechanical assemblies
  • - Experience designing harnesses, breakout boxes, simple PCBs, and switching mechanisms
  • - Knowledge of safe lab practices with power, batteries, and ESD
  • - Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and engineering documentation
  • - Experience developing configuration management processes for LRUs/harnesses, and test tools such as logging, diagnostics, and debug utilities
  • - Strong debugging skills and the ability to troubleshoot issues across software and hardware boundaries
  • - Ability to understand and contribute to HITL and test software frameworks
  • - Familiarity in Python, C++, Linux, Github, and Jira
  • - Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and adapt quickly in a fast-paced development environment
  • - Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal and communication skills
  • - A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
  • - Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in United States, United Kingdom, or Australia desirable
