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 You will join a dynamic R&D Engineering team focused on manufacturing, testing, and deploying cutting-edge electronic systems in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) domain. The team thrives on rapid troubleshooting, cross-functional collaboration, and delivering high-quality hardware in challenging environments. As part of this group, you will work closely with manufacturing and design engineers, manufacturing and automated test teams, and manufacturing technicians to build and test industry-leading EW systems. ABOUT THE JOB As an Engineering Technician, you will be a hands-on enabler of both prototype and production test hardware related to electronic warfare systems. You will support multiple projects by handling assembly, rework, test setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting activities. This role is essential to keep engineering momentum high, ensuring test stations are built to specification, tested thoroughly, and maintained to perform reliably in production. WHAT YOU’LL DO Assemble, install, and troubleshoot circuit board and system-level test stations, including automated test software and Radio Frequency (RF) test equipment. Perform electrical rework and modifications, including soldering, assembling and modifying wiring harnesses, test fixtures, and circuit boards. Support integration of automated test stations, including installation and configuration of test equipment such as power supplies, signal generators, power meters, and spectrum and network analyzers. Execute test procedures for integrated assemblies for troubleshooting activities, including setup of instrumentation , data collection, and report generation. Perform precision PCB rework, including fine-pitch soldering, component replacement, jumper installation, and wiring modifications. Support electrical assembly of prototype or debug test stations supporting EW production activities. Troubleshoot electrical assemblies and subassemblies, identifying faults or performance issues under engineering guidance. Build cable assemblies and wiring harnesses, including crimping, termination, continuity testing, and labeling. Conduct incoming inspection of electrical components, PCBs, and assemblies for quality, workmanship, and compliance. Maintain lab organization, including ESD-safe practices, tool calibration, equipment upkeep, and inventory tracking. Fabricate simple test fixtures, jigs, adapters, and harnesses to support engineering workflows. Document build steps, test results, rework performed, and lessons learned to improve repeatability and traceability. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Hands-on experience in electro-mechanical assembly and prototype builds, including mechanical installs, wiring, soldering, and component handling. Strong troubleshooting skills: able to follow test plans, identify failure modes, and work with engineers to resolve issues. Proficiency with PCB rework: component removal and replacement down to 0201, wiring modifications, connector/cable work. Experience with cable harness fabrication, crimping, and wiring assemblies. Good understanding of ESD, safety, and clean-lab protocols; able to maintain rigorous environmental and safety standards. Excellent attention to detail; able to document processes, maintain quality contr
