At a glance

Anduril is seeking an Integration and Test Engineer with a strong electrical focus to join the Maneuver Dominance team at our Costa Mesa HQ to help develop and scale our Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) capabilities.
This role will focus on the design, build, and sustainment of HITLs including but not limited to overall system architecture, procurement, harness diagrams, breakout box designs, switching mechanisms, PCB designs, and test troubleshooting.
You will work at the intersection of simulation, hardware integration, software development, and system-level testing to enable reliable and repeatable testing on physical systems.

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

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
