Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. Anduril is seeking a Senior Integration & Test Engineer to join the Omen team at our Costa Mesa HQ. Omen is Anduril’s hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle (AAV) that packs the endurance, payload, and mission flexibility of much larger airplanes into a novel runway-independent Group 3 platform. Omen can operate from ship decks, beaches, or remote island clearings, providing true runway independence and freedom of maneuver across defense and civilian domains. Omen is the first tail-sitter aircraft with a mass-production contract, with an order of 50 systems representing a decisive investment that anchors production and accelerates the development of future systems.

You are the bridge between engineering design and the technicians and mechanics executing the build, ensuring that every vehicle comes together on schedule, to spec, and ready for test.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Experience with rotorcraft or VTOL platforms • Background in uncrewed or autonomous vehicle integration • Experience with Group 3 or larger UAS programs • Defense industry experience • Experience developing or improving integration/manufacturing processes in a low-rate or prototype production environment • Familiarity with data acquisition systems and instrumentation US Salary Range $146,000-$220,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
