Integration & Test Technician, Omen

Job Description

Anduril is seeking an Integration and Test Technician to join the Omen team at our Costa Mesa HQ. Omen is Anduril’s hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle (AAV) that packs the endurance, payload, and mission flexibility of much larger airplanes into a novel runway-independent Group 3 platform. Omen can operate from ship decks, beaches, or remote island clearings, providing true runway independence and freedom of maneuver across defense and civilian domains. Omen is the first tail-sitter aircraft with a mass-production contract, with an order of 50 systems representing a decisive investment that anchors production and accelerates the development of future systems.

You will work on new aircraft development, including propulsion systems, avionics, batteries, mechanisms, structures sensors and payloads, in a lean, high-ownership culture where you directly shape the product and operate at a velocity to fly new designs within months, not years.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support the use of ‘Test’ as a design tool to accelerate component, system and subsystem maturation from discrete bench tests to production representative Vehicle, Mission and Support Systems
• Assemble complex electro-mechanical subsystems, high quality wire harnesses, test racks, junction boxes, and associated components involving hand soldering and component assembly and integration
• Build, sustain and operate highly representative Hardware In the Lab (HIL) and Hardware In The Loop (HITL) physical integration environments, including high voltage, high power hybrid powertrain testbeds
• Integrate developmental subsystems into uncrewed surrogate platforms (Group 2 and 3 UAS), and support ongoing flight test and maintenance operations
• Act with a strong safety mindset (stop, think, do) to execute work safely in experimental environments with the aim of eliminating potential harm to team members
• Support Test Readiness Reviews (TRR), ensuring that tests can be safety and efficiently conducted
• Execute test procedures across integration environments, efficiently capturing and reporting learnings
• Maintain configuration control of integration environments
• Support build, ground and flight test of prototype and production representative Omen Systems

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND ATTRIBUTES

• Associate Degree (or similar) in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Technologies, or related fields
• 5+ years of component, electrical and electronics build and test experience in an R&D environment and exposure to manufacturing settings with rigorous quality systems (such as Aerospace, Electronics, or Medical industries)
• Participation in building and operating HIL/HITL/IRON BIRD environments for flight vehicles
• Experience in operating and maintaining Group 2 or 3 UAS (or larger)
• Competency in reading electrical system and component schematics, and capturing ‘as-built’ configurations
• Proficiency with electronics test equipment such as power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscope, function generators, data acquisition and diagnostic sensors
• Knowledge of electronics/communications/integration troubleshooting, experience in debug of common protocols such as CAN/Ethernet/Serial
• Experience with high voltage and high power testing such as propulsion inverters, batteries and hybrid powertrains
• Competency with Linux and command line interface as well as software debugging preferable
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal and communication skills
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a security c
