Integration and Test Engineer (Support System), Omen

Anduril is seeking an Integration & Test Engineer, specializing in Support System Testing 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 will lead test planning and execution for the development and demonstration of Support System Ground Servicing Equipment (GSE), including launch and recovery systems, storage and transportation equipment, fueling and charging accessories and Mission System handling devices.
