The Test and Evaluation team at Anduril plays a crucial role in our mission , ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. Our team conducts full system level development testing, new production acceptance testing, software qualification testing and much more.
ABOUT THE JOB
In your role as a Test Site Asset Engineer on the Air Defense team, you are responsible for delivering and sustaining a fully mission-capable test site that meets our engineering teams' testing requirements and exceeds their expectations. You fulfill this responsibility through rigorous operational execution, detail orientation, proactive communication, deep understanding of the test mission, and hard-won product expertise. You feel ownership over the health and performance of all assets and technologies at your site, and ensure the system delivers when the team needs it most. Much of this work is hands-on and top-level: occasional hardware swaps, command-line SSH access, restarts, and basic troubleshooting to keep systems online. When an issue falls outside what can be resolved that way, you coordinate with subject matter experts across product lines and teams to diagnose and fix it, or coordinate SMEs and logistics to replace the affected hardware — communicating issues clearly and documenting solutions along the way. You also represent the realities of the test site back to Anduril, communicating feedback and lessons learned to continuously improve our products and our team. Above all, you set the standard for what good looks like at your site, and you rally your Anduril teammates to meet that standard every single day.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own the daily health of your assigned test site — serve as the single point of accountability for keeping all systems fully mission capable, monitoring status on a daily basis and driving any degradation to resolution
- Maintain systems through occasional hardware swaps, command-line SSH access, restarts, and top-level troubleshooting to resolve issues and restore capability with minimal downtime
- When an issue exceeds top-level troubleshooting, coordinate with subject matter experts across product lines and teams to diagnose and fix it, or coordinate SMEs and logistics to replace the affected hardware
- Clearly communicate issues to SMEs, effectively coordinate the path to resolution, and document solutions for future reference
- Work with engineering to define the correct equipment to have at each site to ensure representative testing
- Ensure our test site assets are fully mission capable across all sites — including fixed hardware, mobile hardware, and flight assets
- Work with site infrastructure to ensure assets have reliable power and network connectivity
- Create a sustainment and sparing plan for parts including budget and timing
- Track failure rates and anticipate maintenance windows to build a cost and support model for years to come
- Maintain lab spaces to a high level of organization and professionalism, creating processes for labeling, organization, and stock tracking
- Maintain hazard safety training and processes, fostering an environment and culture to promote safety as the number one priority
- Organize and control inventory of assets and spares
- Travel to test sites and field as needed
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
