This role goes beyond traditional requirements management-you'll drive cross-functional problem-solving, build predictive models, define test strategies, and ensure we deliver reliable systems to the field without costly rework. This position offers a clear pathway toward Chief Engineering leadership. You'll develop program management skills while maintaining deep technical engagement, learning to balance system-level thinking with hands-on execution. Success means our vehicles perform reliably in the field, our testing is scientific and predictive, and we never ship hardware that requires customer-site rework. We need engineers who are tired of requirements documents that don't solve problems and want to roll up their sleeves to define what "good" looks like across mechanical, electrical, software, and test disciplines. WHAT YOU'LL DO Hardware & Software Assurance * Own cross-functional integration between Mechanical, GNC, Aero, Electrical, and Beacon teams with DevTest and Analysts * Drive specific, scientifically rigorous subsystem and component-level testing in advance of full system integration and flight tests * Define and execute vehicle qualification strategy and inform vehicle acceptance criteria * Ensure P95 reliability goals through proactive test planning and validation * Understand software scope of work and align with overall program goals * Modify software sprints and architecture based on program priorities and customer requirements System Modeling & Performance Analysis * Build all-up reliability models based on subsystem testing data and forward modeling * Develop system models that capture the interplay between performance and cost (e.g., wing stiffness impact on performance vs. manufacturing cost) * Define payload weight and inertia budgets with precision * Develop latency budgets and performance envelopes for software subsystems * Establish ATP bounds for hardware based on derived performance and reliability targets * Make architectural decisions that balance capability, schedule, and technical risk Requirements & Customer Interface * Interface regularly with Growth team to iterate on requirements and system architecture * Focus on GSE, logistics, and end-user experience requirements * Iterate on autonomy behaviors to meet Growth demands and build up capabilities for near-term commitments * Drive flow-down analysis per vehicle subsystem to inform testing requirements Cross-Subsystem Problem Solving * Dive deep into problems spanning hardware and software subsystems (perception, localization, planning, controls, sensor/servo integration) * Get hands-on: spin up mission sim environments, debug cross-system issues, prototype solutions * Develop mission profiles and validate them in simulation environments * Correlate and extrapolate real-world test data through appropriate system modeling * Unblock teams by bridging gaps between software engineering and hardware constraints Configuration Management & Program Execution * Track hardware deltas from PDR * CDR * Shipment * Ensure proper hardware delivery and test tracking across the program * Sit in software sprints and unblock teams through systems-level thinking * Follow up on derived performance and reliability targets for all subsystems * Define on-the-line testing that ensures field performance., 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. ## Related Videos - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Using AI Without Losing Your Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2045-using-ai-without-losing-your-skills) - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [What I learned as a developer from accidents in space](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/642-what-i-learned-as-a-developer-from-accidents-in-space) - [Develop on Windows, Deploy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1600-develop-on-windows-deploy-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development)
