Full description
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.
The Hardware Engineering Organization is looking for an EMI/EMC Test Engineer to deliver value and innovation as Anduril’s products across all domains - air, land, water, and space - are introduced to the market. The team provides rapid, comprehensive development and compliance test capabilities that inform design and architecture trades meanwhile improving system performance and reliability. This is more than mere test execution, this is ownership of electromagnetic resilience and continuous improvement through rigorous evaluation, troubleshooting, and innovation.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Create and maintain electrical system test strategy, and test plans for various Anduril products.
- Conduct electrical compliance and robustness testing such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, and MIL-STD-1275.
- Design and deploy electrical system integration test benches. (Iron Bird/Copper Bird/Lab Car).
- Support on vehicle level to component level test requirement decomposition.
- Drive coverage and analysis of failures observed in unit-level, integration, and system-level testing.
- Devise mitigations for test failures and path to compliance and reliability.
- Perform integration testing of electrical subsystems and their functionality.
- Leverage data analysis and existing tools to reproduce and characterize failures.
- Support environmental reliability testing (HALT/HASS) efforts on PCBA and LRU level.
- Develop customized harnesses and fixtures for EMI/EMC and power quality tests.
- Support validation of automated test systems.
