About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or similar in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautics Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field.
  • Experience architecting, developing, and sustaining Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL)/Ironbird labs for Group 4 or 5 unmanned aircraft systems, aerospace, or defense vehicle integration and test environments.
  • Hands-on experience debugging in a lab using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and other electrical test equipment.
  • Experience using diagnostic and protocol analysis tools such as Saleae Logic Analyzers, Wireshark, PEAK-System CAN interfaces, or similar tools.
  • Understanding of software/hardware interfaces, networking, and electrical bus protocols including CAN, Ethernet, RS-232/422/485, and MIL-STD-1553.
  • Experience leading and troubleshooting line-replaceable unit-, subsystem-, and system-level integration and bring-up of electrical systems, harnesses, and electromechanical assemblies.
  • Experience designing harnesses, breakout boxes, simple printed circuit boards, and switching mechanisms.
  • Knowledge of safe lab practices involving power, batteries, and electrostatic discharge.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and engineering documentation.
  • Experience developing configuration management processes for line-replaceable units and harnesses, and test tools such as logging, diagnostics, and debug utilities.
  • Strong debugging skills and ability to troubleshoot across software and hardware boundaries.
  • Ability to understand and contribute to Hardware-In-The-Loop and test software frameworks.
  • Familiarity with Python, C++, Linux, GitHub, and Jira.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and adapt quickly in a fast-paced development environment.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain the Hardware-In-The-Loop/Ironbird electrical infrastructure that bridges simulation software to Hardware-In-The-Loop testing for hardware, software, and flight test engineers.
  • Develop system architecture, including harness diagrams, breakout boxes, switching mechanisms, and printed circuit board designs.
  • Support part procurement, physical stand-up, configuration, and maintenance of open-loop and closed-loop Hardware-In-The-Loop systems, including integration of hardware, compute, networking, sensors, and other required components.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve real-time simulation issues during Hardware-In-The-Loop operations, including timing constraints, hardware interface problems, and model fidelity discrepancies.
  • Develop diagnostics and telemetry debugging capabilities to provide system-state visibility and support efficient troubleshooting of integration and test failures.
  • Coordinate harness builds and other electrical tasks with electrical engineering technicians.
  • Develop fault-injection capabilities to introduce controlled failures and degraded conditions for system behavior evaluation.
  • Develop configuration management tracking tools to maintain consistent and reproducible Hardware-In-The-Loop configurations.
  • Automate Hardware-In-The-Loop health checks, setup, configuration, deployment, and test execution to reduce manual effort and improve repeatability.
  • Understand and contribute to Hardware-In-The-Loop software architecture and the test framework.
  • Establish testing best practices that make Hardware-In-The-Loop systems a reliable part of the development and integration lifecycle.
  • Work with software, systems, simulation, and hardware engineers to identify and resolve integration and test issues.
  • Operate in prototype and experimental environments with a strong safety mindset to eliminate potential harm to team members.
  • Follow established procedures and identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, and efficiency.

Desired Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Nix.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia.

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
