Ladar System Integration and Test Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. The team is heavily involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro-optical, infrared, and sensor data to give our war fighters and allies an advantage.

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril is developing and building new lidar product lines in Boulder, CO. Our work ranges between rolling out new prototypes to transitioning to production, and we’re looking for someone to join our team who enjoys: working in the lab to build, align and test prototype systems; developing and executing alignment, integration and test plans and detailed procedures; working with a production team to transition new products into low rate initial production; and learning quickly to take on new challenges that this small team will solve in a fast paced environment.

The I&T Engineer will be someone with broad, multidisciplinary experience who is able to learn quickly to solve a wide variety of challenges!

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead and execute all integration and test activities of EO systems ranging from prototypes to low rate initial production.
• Responsible for alignment, testing and calibration of precision optical, electrical and mechanical systems and subsystems.
• Responsible for Boulder test facilities and infrastructure, including: calibration of test equipment, inventory management for system builds, AS9100 implementations for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development product phase.
• Work with production manufacturing and quality engineers to develop product Assembly, Integration and Test processes and procedures for a New Product Introduction.
• Develop alignment and assembly test plans. Perform and oversee alignments and assembly for refinement and red lining of test plans.
• Identify and troubleshoot hardware and test anomalies independently. Document anomalies with test results and initial debug results for presentation to larger team.
• Lead environmental testing campaign by writing test plans and procedures. executing the test program, and working hand-in-hand with our environmental test SMEs and external vendors to ensure successful completion of the test campaign.
