Integration & Test Technician, Omen

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. 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 RD 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 inverte ...
