Lab & Integration LeadPosted today$254K

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

• Own the lab architecture and rig design. Define and baseline the lab: architecture: rig block diagrams, lab network, HITL host and simulation, data recording, and the rig interfaces (rig-to-LRU, rig-to-sim, rig-to-ground-station). Provide design oversight of every rig build, reviewing chassis, rack, power, harness and hydraulic interface designs before material is released, so rigs are built to an architecture rather than assembled one at a time.

• Lead bring-up at the bench. Be hands-on through first light of each rig: safe-to-mate, power-on and BIT, LRU checkout, and host/sim reference-scenario runs. Debug across hardware, harness, network and software boundaries, and teach the team to do the same.

• Define what “operational” means. Own a single rig operational-readiness: checklist, agreed with the build team, and run the readiness review before any rig is declared operational. Pre-define fallback configurations (engineering LRUs, predecessor rigs) and the trigger for using them when a dependency slips.

• Keep every rig under configuration control. Baseline each rig’s configuration: (LRU part and serial numbers, software and firmware versions, harness revisions, sim and model versions) with Configuration Management, audit it before the first for-record run, and record as-tested configuration for every formal run. Problems are discussed against a named build, not against someone’s bench.

• Own lab capacity and the integrated lab schedule. Model rig-hours demanded: against rig-hours available by month. Build and run the integrated, rig-by-week schedule across software qualification, mission systems integration, iron bird integration and flight-test support, and run the weekly Lab & Integration board that resolves conflicts and closes decisions.

• Allocate hardware to rigs. Own the LRU allocation plan, assigning: engineering, qualification and flight LRUs to each rig, agreed with the avionics and mission systems teams, and keep it current as deliveries move.

What they're looking for

• Iron bird experience, including hydraulic systems, loaded actuation, flight: controls or starter-generator / power loading.
• Mission systems integration experience: EO/IR, electronic warfare, datalinks, crypto and key management, and C2 ground segments.
• Classified lab accreditation experience (RMF / ATO, JSIG) and familiarity with TEMPEST and secure lab design.
• Experience standing up a multi-rig lab from scratch with several builds in flight at once.
• Lab automation and continuous integration on HIL rigs: automated regression, test frameworks and results dashboards.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, and linking verification evidence to a system model.
• Flight test or ground test support experience on a developmental aircraft program.
