TL;DR · Senior Hardware Test Engineer, Cyber

As a Senior Hardware Test Engineer, Cyber, you will join the Anduril Cyber team to develop hardware and software systems for offensive cyber missions in difficult environments. You will be responsible for designing test approaches, fixtures, and automated validation workflows to ensure high confidence in complex integrated systems. Your daily work involves building requirement-traceable test coverage across functional validation, regression, and environmental testing. To achieve this, you will utilize Python, Bash, and Robot Framework to automate system configurations and data collection while operating RF test equipment, networking infrastructure, and Linux systems. You will collaborate with FPGA, DSP, and hardware engineers to isolate failures and manage defect triage. The role focuses on the technical challenge of integrating autonomous vehicles, mesh networks, and specialized hardware into a cohesive platform for cyber operations at the edge.

What you'll do

  • Design test approaches, fixtures, and automated validation workflows for hardware and software systems in lab environments.
  • Build requirement-traceable test coverage for functional validation, regression testing, and environmental readiness.
  • Develop automation scripts using Python, Bash, or Robot Framework to configure systems and collect evidence.
  • Operate RF equipment, networking infrastructure, and system-control surfaces to validate end-to-end integrated behavior.
  • Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to reproduce issues, isolate failures, and improve release confidence.
  • Establish disciplined test plans, defect triage loops, and evidence packages for productization.
  • Maintain CI/CD-backed regression systems to ensure consistent system performance across software and hardware layers.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in automated test and validation using Python, Bash, Robot Framework, or comparable tools.
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD-backed regression systems, preferably with GitLab CI/CD.
  • Hands-on familiarity with RF and hardware test equipment like signal generators, analyzers, and switch matrices.
  • Ability to translate requirements into concrete test procedures, fixture designs, and coverage maps.
  • Proficiency working across Linux systems, networking infrastructure, and hardware interfaces to debug failures.
  • Strong defect-triage skills to reproduce, isolate, and communicate technical issues clearly.
  • Experience with qualification or environmental testing in defense or aerospace domains is preferred.
  • Familiarity with lab automation spanning both software control and physical instrumentation is preferred.
