Anduril is seeking an Integration & Test Engineer, Fuel Systems to join the Maneuver Dominance team at the Costa Mesa HQ.
This individual will own integration and test of the fuel system for Omen, an advanced Group 3 VTOL tail-sitting aircraft.
The role involves owning fuel system integration testing across increasingly mature environments, from component bench tests through full vehicle ground test.

Own all fuel system integration and test activities from component bench tests through full vehicle ground test, including tanks, pumps, valves, fluid lines, sensors, and dispense sequencing
Develop right-sized test plans and efficiently capture and report learnings as inputs to design
Define and plan fuel-system-specific requirements, measurement approaches, and instrumentation needed to characterize vehicle weight, center of gravity, and moments of inertia
Support the vehicle mass properties test program across fuel states and vehicle orientations
Develop and execute a fuel system orientation test program capturing fuel flow behavior, pump performance, and tank dispense sequencing across multiple vehicle orientations
Define fixturing, tooling, and test setup requirements for fuel system bench and vehicle-level orientation testing
Coordinate with structures/loads and systems engineering teams to define load cases and vehicle configurations required to support orientation and mass properties testing
Feed mass properties test results into vehicle models and hand off clean data to support downstream ground vibration testing and flight dynamics work
Focus on safety in integration environments, ensuring potential harm to team members is eliminated by design with attention to fuel/hazardous fluid handling and heavy-lift operations
Support Factory Acceptance Testing, ground test, and flight test of prototype and production representative systems

Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems, or related engineering discipline
