Integration & Test Engineer, Powertrain

Job description

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 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. ABOUT THE JOB Anduril is seeking an Integration & Test Engineer, specializing in Powertrain, to join the Omen team at our Costa Mesa HQ.

You will plan and execute Powertrain integration and test activities across increasingly mature environments, from discrete bench tests through Hardware In Lab (HIL), Hardware In The Loop (HITL), surrogate platforms, and flight test. The Powertrain scope encompasses electric machines, inverters, gearboxes, battery modules, battery management systems (BMS), high voltage distribution, powertrain controllers, power conditioning, and associated thermal management systems. This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You will own component and subsystem test campaigns end to end and contribute to vehicle-level campaigns led by senior engineering. 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 • Plan and execute powertrain (propulsion drive, battery, hybrid management) test activities across increasingly mature integration environments, owning individual test campaigns end to end • Develop, review, and execute right-sized test plans for Powertrain component and subsystem integration, efficiently capturing and reporting learnings, and making recommendations as inputs to design • Perform integration, bring-up, and characterization of electric machines, inverters, gearboxes, battery modules, BMS, high voltage distribution, powertrain controllers, and power conditioning components • Support development and operation of the Powertrain surrogate for integrated powertrain characterization and control tuning • Focus on the safety of integration environments, ensuring that potential harm to team members is eliminated by design, with particular attention to high voltage and stored energy hazards • Implement and maintain processes for configuration control of Powertrain integration environm
