TL;DR · Integration and Test Engineer (Iron Bird), Omen

Anduril is hiring an Integration & Test Engineer (Iron Bird) for its Omen team at the Costa Mesa HQ. This senior-level role involves designing, building, and operating highly representative physical integration environments to bridge bench testing and flight test phases in a fast-paced culture where new designs are flown within months. Key responsibilities include leading Iron Bird environment setup for mission simulation and off-nominal testing, developing modular configurations with switchable hardware, executing test plans, supporting software release testing, ensuring safety standards, implementing configuration control processes, and creating real-time data visualization tools. The ideal candidate has a degree in electrical or aerospace engineering and 5+ years of experience with HIL/HITL systems, real-time simulation environments like dSPACE or NI, and expertise in DAQ setup, sensor selection, and communication protocols such as CAN and Ethernet.

What you'll do

  • Own and design HIL/HITL environments for vehicle configurations.
  • Develop modular Iron Bird setups with switchable hardware and emulation.
  • Create and execute test plans, capturing learnings for design improvements.
  • Support software release testing through the Iron Bird environment.
  • Ensure safety in integration environments by eliminating potential hazards.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years experience in developing and operating HIL/HITL/Iron Bird environments for flight vehicles or complex autonomous systems
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems Engineering, or aviation-related technical discipline
  • Experience with real-time simulation environments, hardware emulation, closed-loop test configurations, and HIL platforms (dSPACE, NI, Speedgoat)
  • Design and build integration test benches including power distribution, signal routing, harnessing, and mechanical fixturing
  • Strong foundation in data acquisition setup, sensor selection, communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, Serial), and command line interface
  • Adept at working safely with high voltage systems for integration, checkout, and testing
