Systems Integration Engineer
About the role
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming military capabilities with advanced technology. The TRS team integrates hardware and software to ensure reliable systems for the military.
Responsibilities
Own cross-functional integration between Mechanical, GNC, Aero, Electrical, and Beacon teams with DevTest and Analysts
Drive specific, scientifically rigorous subsystem and component-level testing in advance of full system integration and flight tests
Define and execute vehicle qualification strategy and inform vehicle acceptance criteria
Ensure P95 reliability goals through proactive test planning and validation
Understand software scope of work and align with overall program goals
Modify software sprints and architecture based on program priorities and customer requirements
Build all-up reliability models based on subsystem testing data and forward modeling
Develop system models that capture the interplay between performance and cost
Define payload weight and inertia budgets with precision
Develop latency budgets and performance envelopes for software subsystems
Establish ATP bounds for hardware based on derived performance and reliability targets
Make architectural decisions that balance capability, schedule, and technical risk
Interface regularly with Growth team to iterate on requirements and system architecture
Focus on GSE, logistics, and end-user experience requirements
Iterate on autonomy behaviors to meet Growth demands and build up capabilities for near-term commitments
Drive flow-down analysis per vehicle subsystem to inform testing requirements
Dive deep into problems spanning hardware and software subsystems (perception, localization, planning, controls, sensor/servo integration)
Get hands-on: spin up mission sim environments, debug cross-system issues, prototype solutions
Develop mission profiles and validate them in simulation environments
Correlate and extrapolate real-world test data through appropriate system modeling
Unblock teams by bridging gaps between software engineering and hardware constraints
Track hardware deltas from PDR → CDR → Shipment
Ensure proper hardware delivery and test tracking across the program
Sit in software sprints and unblock teams through systems-level thinking
Follow up on derived performance and reliability targets for all subsystems
Define on-the-line testing that ensures field performance
Qualifications
3-5+ years of experience in aerospace, robotics, or defense systems development
Experience across multiple disciplines (hardware and software subsystems)
Strong foundation in system-level testing, qualification, and reliability analysis
Ability to make architectural decisions and drive cross-functional problem solving
Hands-on problem solver with bias toward action over documentation
Ability to influence without authority across engineering teams
Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical field
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Defense industry experience or familiarity with MIL-STDs
UAV/UAS or autonomous platform experience
Background in design and test engineering
Experience with system modeling, reliability analysis, or MBSE tools
Exposure to program management or technical leadership
