About the role
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. This position is looking for a highly motivated senior leader in Hardware Test Engineering with emphasis in developmental test, rapid development and instrumentation. The right candidate will have a passion for creative, scalable, and effective problem solving. This person will work heavily in support of Anduril’s program leadership supporting a broad spectrum to partner in solving hard problems in product development. Anduril is a rapidly growing company, and the right person for this role should be able to thrive in a fast-paced environment with many competing priorities. The Hardware Test Operations team at Anduril works across the entire spectrum of products and business lines, as well as all flight operations and test range management. Our team conducts end-to-end testing including new production acceptance testing, sub-component qualification testing and much more. In short, if it involves test, we support it. If you are interested in working in an extremely innovative and fast-paced environment, where your work directly makes an impact and difference in the products that are fielded, this is a fantastic opportunity. Key
Responsibilities: Lead the Hardware Test Enterprise Support organization—a centralized engineering shared-services team consisting of development testing, test instrumentation, data operations, rapid integration and test, and airworthiness—as you balance resources, schedules, and priorities across all of Anduril's product divisions. Sit at the critical intersection of multiple product business units (air, maritime, land, and counter-UAS divisions) and core engineering teams, translating diverse product-specific validation needs into standardized, scalable test processes and workflows. Support product lines as a critical partner in test architecture development, and collaboration with critical stakeholders on the strategic vision and infrastructure roadmap for test, physical test facilities, environmental labs, and automated test data systems that enable all product divisions to scale rapidly. Lead the enterprise-wide implementation of new testing facilities and capital equipment (including comprehensive RFP processes) and seamlessly onboard newly acquired teams and resources in various vehicle platforms to Anduril’s shared testing and airworthiness ecosystem. Partner with hardware vendors, instrumentation providers, and third-party test labs to negotiate enterprise-level agreements, standardizing data acquisition (DAQ) and calibration tools across the entire company. Work with internal software development and data teams to build a unified, enterprise-grade test data platform that ingests, processes, and visualizes multi-domain test telemetry, ensuring design engineers across any division can easily access and utilize their test data. Implement and support business health and productivity reporting to enhance program management, tracking, and reporting capabilities across diverse, cross-divisional major qualification campaigns and test programs. Optimize enterprise test operations and scheduling (MRP-adjacent tracking) to manage lab capacity, coordinate shared test assets, and eliminate scheduling bottlenecks across competing divisional timelines. Develop and drive a comprehensive strategic roadmap for enterprise hardware testing capabilities, proactively building test infrastructure to support Anduril’s expansion into new product domains and environments (underwater, surface, land, air, and space). Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and internal Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to measure the throughput, asset utilization, safety, and operational impact of the Enterprise Support organization on Anduril's product divisions.
