Software Engineer, Space Systems Test

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. ABOUT THE TEAM Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain. ABOUT THE JOB As a Software Engineer, Systems Test for our Space team, you will be instrumental in designing, building, and deploying the cutting-edge software and infrastructure that verifies the functionality and performance of our integrated space systems and flight hardware. This role focuses on creating robust, extensible, and automated test platforms and software, intended to be used by Anduril engineers for testing at all levels of integration, including unit-level testing, bus testing, testing technology-differentiated payloads, and testing full space vehicle systems. You will be called to apply best practices in systems architecture and software development to address the complexity of modern software ecosystems, ensuring test software is resilient, maintainable, extensible, and highly automated. You will be responsible for architecting and executing software solutions for test execution, data collection, analysis, remote monitoring, and fleet-level reporting. This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Space Business Line. These programs require building and fielding resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads. We work with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC . WHAT YOU’LL DO Architect and develop cloud-based software tools for automated space system test execution, data collection, analysis, remote monitoring, and fleet-level reporting, with an emphasis on extensibility and maintainability. Design and build automated test software platforms for use by other Anduril engineers to verify hardware modules, buses, payloads, and full space vehicle systems. Develop and maintain robust test reporting systems, ensuring test results are easy to investigate and providing clear logging for troubleshooting and anomaly resolution. Create and analyze metrics that are leveraged for debugging and monitoring of test system performance. Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to integrate test software with satellite hardware, software, and firmware. Integrate test software across numerous teams, collaboratively identifying testing requirements and defining verification and validation strategies. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. Experience in designing, developing, and deploying automated test software and systems architecture for complex hardware, ideally in aerospace or robotics. Experience with cloud-based development, infrastructure, and data analysis tools. Proven ability to design
