The opportunity

Anduril is seeking a Principal Test Engineer to serve as the senior-most individual-contributor technical authority for test and evaluation across Connected Warfare's portfolio, including Eagle Eye, NGC2, Menace family of systems, and more. Where Staff and Lead Test Engineers…

What you'll do

  • Serve as the senior technical authority on test strategy across most of: Connected Warfare's applications, providing technical oversight and support to the teams running the division's most complex, highest-risk, or multi-system test campaigns.

  • Review and help program teams strengthen verification strategies: requirements-based, scenario-based, and operationally relevant — ensuring they scale across CW's software-enabled hardware and pure-software systems and properly incorporate customer-required standards and metrics.

  • Act as connective tissue across Connected Warfare's individual test programs:: identify where one program's test infrastructure, tooling, instrumentation, or lessons learned should be reused elsewhere in the division, and work with program teams to drive that reuse.

  • Provide technical mentorship and escalation support to Staff and Lead Test: Engineers running individual program test campaigns — reviewing test plans, execution approach, and reporting across developmental test, system integration (HIL/SIL), and operational assessment events (from lab integration through field validation), unblocking hard technical problems, and raising the technical rigor of test execution across the division. Step in hands-on only on the most technically demanding events where a program team needs direct help.

  • Directly support T&E Test Process execution (e.g. Test Readiness Reviews: (TRRs), technical milestone reviews, and customer acceptance events), representing CW's test posture with credibility to government and program stakeholders.

  • Work with teams to confirm traceability from requirements through: verification and validation results across CW programs, and help define and monitor test coverage, requirements verification, and defect closure metrics at a division level, not just program level.

What they're looking for

  • Master's degree in Systems Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Prior experience as Test Lead across multiple DoD programs (ACAT I/II or: equivalent), including cross-program or cross-system responsibility.
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC testing, environmental testing (MIL-STD-810), and: power/avionics standards (MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-1553/1760).
  • Experience helping teams build or scale test automation frameworks, data: analysis tooling, or test instrumentation used across multiple programs.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, software integration, and hardware-in-the-loop test environments.
  • Experience conducting test activities in remote, austere, or tactical operational settings.
  • Active Top Secret/SCI clearance.
