ABOUT THE TEAM
Our high growth Field Operations team is looking for our next self-starting Field Test Engineer. Our team is made of engineers that are passionate about subsea robotics and open ocean exploration. We work in a complex, dynamic environment that take place both onshore and offshore, where collaboration and idea sharing are a way of life. We are experts on the water and operating Anduril’s Maritime products. Apply and join us if working on a energetic, creative, and innovative team excites you.
ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking a Field Test Engineer to join the Quincy based team at Anduril, where you’ll work in a cutting-edge start-up environment to advance the state-of-the-possible in subsea robotics. In this role, you will be at the water's edge and on the deck plate - planning, executing, and analyzing at-sea test events for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and subsea systems. You will serve as the critical link between engineering and the real-world ocean environment, turning design intent into validated hardware and software performance. This is a hands-on position for someone who thrives on solving hard problems in the field, often far from the lab and under demanding austere operational conditions.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Work within a dynamic team of multidisciplinary engineers and specialists throughout the life of AUV design, integration, and test efforts
- Take on the principal responsibilities of the hands-on troubleshooting, repair, operation, and maintenance of AUVs and subsea systems in the field
- Lead day-to-day local operations for multiple AUVs and subsea platforms, including conducting pre-mission testing, launch and recovery, vehicle tasking, and data analysis
- Deploy globally in support of maritime operations from a variety of support vessel types
- Write, review, and execute test plans during sea testing
- Coordinate test execution with 3rd party vendors, partners, and logistics companies
- Author detailed daily operational test reports to document the step-by-step execution of internal and customer facing efforts to test and evaluate Anduril maritime platforms and new capabilities
