Builds, scales, and maintains the production software that drives manufacturing test systems for Anduril's Barracuda missile hardware — writing Python and C# test automation that controls lab instruments, DAQs, PLCs (Modbus TCP) and embedded interfaces, deploying deterministic test suites on Linux/NixOS factory racks, and integrating test data with SQL databases and MES.
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.
The Barracuda Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware for the Warfighter. This responsibility includes everything in the manufacturing value-chain, including, but not limited to, Design for Manufacturability work, tool design & selection, process creation & optimization, vendor sourcing & interaction, quality planning, and work documentation associated with the hardware that the Manufacturing Engineer owns.
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Software Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will build, scale, and maintain the software that drives our manufacturing test systems. In this role, your primary focus will be developing production software that directly tests complex hardware systems, integrates with laboratory instrumentation and DAQs, and manages the data these stations produce. You will bridge low-level hardware control with high-level test automation by writing robust, reliable production code in Python and C# targeting Linux/Unix (and ideally NixOS) runtime environments.
To ensure our hardware meets mission-critical quality and production throughput demands, every Software Manufacturing Test Engineer is expected to derive software test requirements from hardware schematics and system specifications, author automated test sequences, and deploy complete software suites to factory test racks. You will work closely with development and firmware engineers to refine test coverage as product designs evolve, resolve complex hardware-software integration failures on the floor, and ensure deterministic software deployments across our manufacturing line.
