Integration and Test Engineer (Environmental), 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. Anduril is seeking an Integration & Test Engineer, specializing in Environmental testing 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 lead Environmental test planning and execution for thermal, vibration, shock, altitude, ingress protection, corrosion, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI) testing - ensuring hardware is characterized and qualified for the intended flight environment before integration into development vehicles. All of this 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 Own environmental test planning and execution for thermal, low pressure (altitude), vibration, shock, ingress protection, and corrosive stress testing across all vehicle subsystems Own EMI/EMC test planning and execution for all relevant vehicle subsystems Develop, review, and execute right-sized environmental test plans, efficiently capturing and reporting learnings, and making recommendations as inputs to design Collaborate with subsystem responsible engineers to develop functional test procedures that combine environmental stresses with operational profiles Coordinate with third-party environmental labs for access to lab equipment Focus on the safety of test environments, ensuring that potential harm to team members is eliminated by design Implement and maintain processes for configuration control of test articles throughout environmental test campaigns Develop and maintain environmental test instrumentation strategies (thermocouples, accelerometers, pressure transducers) Support qualification evidence packages for airworthiness and acceptance activities REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND ATTRIBUTES Bachelor degree or higher in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Aerospace, Systems or aviation related technical engineering discipline 5+ years hands-on experience with both environmental testing (e.g. MIL-STD-810, DO-160, etc.) and EMI/EMC testing (e.g. MIL-STD-461, DO-160, etc.) Experience with environmental chamber operations (thermal cycling, altitude simulation, humidity, salt fog) and vibration testing (random, sine, sine-on-random shock) Experience with anechoic chamber operations and EMI measurement techniques Demonstrated execution of System-level environmental test campaigns Knowledge of test-tailoring approaches for environmental testing of aerospace hardware Strong test engineering foundation — DAQ setup and operation, sensor selection and installation, and fluency in common communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, Serial) Extremely organized and detail-oriented, excellent verbal and written communication skills (effective for broad audiences),
