ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril’s Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) Manufacturing Engineering team is seeking a Manager of Manufacturing Test Engineering to lead a multi-disciplinary test engineering team supporting our full portfolio of autonomous aircraft, cruise missiles, and loitering munitions. This is a critical leadership role responsible for ensuring that every product we ship has been rigorously tested, validated, and accepted through production-grade test systems that scale with our programs.

You will manage a team of approximately 16 engineers spanning firmware, hardware, software, electrical, and data acquisition disciplines. Your team designs, develops, deploys, and maintains the test systems, fixtures, and automation that production depends on — from board-level functional test through full system acceptance. This is an inherently cross-functional role: you will work daily with design engineering, quality, operations, supply chain, and program teams to ensure test capability keeps pace with development timelines and production rate demands.

You will set the technical direction for test strategy across AD&S, drive standardization where it makes sense, and give your team the space and support to solve hard problems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the manufacturing test strategy across AD&S programs — from board-level PCBA test through subsystem, integration, and full system acceptance testing.
• Drive the development and deployment of production test systems, fixtures, and automation that meet throughput, reliability, and quality requirements at rate.
• Work cross-functionally with design engineering, quality, operations, supply chain, and program management on a daily basis to align test capability with product development timelines and production schedules.
• Collaborate with design engineering teams early in the development cycle to influence testa
