LAYIQ - Manufacturing Test Engineer, Missiles at Anduril

Maintain ownership of manufacturing test infrastructure across the production lifecycle, ensuring station reliability, calibration, and line throughput
Develop and maintain PLC-integrated station control software — commanding industrial controllers over Modbus TCP for rig actuation, interlocks, and sensor acquisition — and maintain the tag/address index as PLC programs evolve, including tooling that imports controller tag exports and validates them against the station's expected schema
Build hardware-free simulation environments (containerized station images, virtual CAN replay, device simulators) so test software is developed and regression-tested without occupying hardware
Gather requirements, author comprehensive test plans, and define parametric acceptance criteria in close partnership with Reliability Engineers and Product Quality Engineers
Design, build, and integrate complete test stations, including instrumentation selection, custom test racks, cable harnesses, and mechanical fixtures
Develop robust, automated test software in Python running on Linux/Unix operating systems to orchestrate test sequences, instruments, and hardware checkouts
Interface test equipment with devices under test (DUTs) using embedded communication protocols including UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232
Configure, maintain, and debug Linux/Unix-based test stations utilizing terminal command-line utilities, SSH, and network configuration/diagnostic tools
Collaborate on test fixture design and custom test PCBAs using Siemens NX (mechanical) and Altium Designer (electrical)
Conduct rigorous root-cause analysis (RCCA) on hardware non-conformances, test failures, and test escapes to drive corrective actions back into design and assembly
Ensure all test processes, station documentation, and calibration workflows adhere to AS9100 and related aerospace/defense quality standards
Integrate test stations with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to maintain seamless serialization, test logs, and end-to-end component traceability
Collaborate with hardware development engineers during NPI phases to drive Design for Testability (DFT) and optimize station cycle times
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
3+ years of relevant industry experience as a Manufacturing Test Engineer, or in an equivalent hardware test development and production sustainment role
Demonstrated hands-on experience designing physical test infrastructure, including test racks, power distribution, DAQs, and lab instrumentation (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, electronic loads)
Proficiency writing automated test scripts and hardware control software in Python within a Linux/Unix environment
Strong Linux/Unix systems knowledge, including terminal command-line proficiency, shell scripting, SSH, and network setup/debugging
Hands-on experience interfacing with and debugging embedded hardware communication protocols: UART, CAN, and RS-485 / RS-232
Experience using CAD/EDA tools—such as Siemens NX for mechanical/fixture review and Altium Designer for schematic and PCBA analysis
Familiarity with AS9100, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality management system standards in a regulated manufacturing environment
Strong root-cause corrective action (RCCA) skills to diagnose electrical/mechanical test escapes and hardware failures
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
