Senior Systems Engineer

• Drive the EDU-to-EMD Transition: Oversee the deployment and test of our EDU builds, ensuring they are fully prepared to support field testing to demonstrate system capability and performance.
• Lead Qualification & Testing: Design and execute a comprehensive Design Verification Testing (DVT) campaign to environmentally test and qualify the system.
• Prepare for Major Milestones: Author technical documentation, define verification matrices, and lead systems-level preparation for upcoming Critical Design Reviews (CDR) and Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR).
• Scale for Production: Collaborate with manufacturing and hardware teams to implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles. Scale our production capabilities from a few units per year to a target volume of ~10s of systems per month.
• Optimize Test Infrastructure: Architect, design, and ruggedize manufacturing test equipment for efficiency, throughput, and reliability on the production floor.
• Automate & Integrate: Collaborate with software and firmware teams to implement robust test automation, while pushing the user interface (UI) and background software towards product-level maturity.
• Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models, and validate models against laboratory and real world data
• Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind:
• No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates.
