Anduril Industries Senior Systems Engineer at Anduril Industries to lead transition of ladar product from EDU to high-rate production. Responsible for scaling build capacity and leading testing campaigns to achieve high Technology Readiness Levels.
Responsibilities
A successful candidate will have a strong background in Electro-Optical (EO) systems, precision pointing, and a passion for transitioning complex hardware from R&D to the production floor.
Drive the EDU-to-EMD Transition: Oversee the deployment and test of our EDU builds, ensuring they are fully prepared to support field testing to demonstrate system capability and performance.
Lead Qualification & Testing: Design and execute a comprehensive Design Verification Testing (DVT) campaign to environmentally test and qualify the system.
Prepare for Major Milestones: Author technical documentation, define verification matrices, and lead systems-level preparation for upcoming Critical Design Reviews (CDR) and Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR).
Scale for Production: Collaborate with manufacturing and hardware teams to implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles. Scale our production capabilities from a few units per year to a target volume of ~10s of systems per month.
Optimize Test Infrastructure: Architect, design, and ruggedize manufacturing test equipment for efficiency, throughput, and reliability on the production floor.
Automate & Integrate: Collaborate with software and firmware teams to implement robust test automation, while pushing the user interface (UI) and background software towards product-level maturity.
Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive requirements based on those models, and validate models against laboratory and real world data
Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations
