What You’ll Do

- Design and build production utility suites including manufacturing-line and vehicle-level test consoles with version-controlled test execution through user-friendly GUIs
- Architect and develop shared test framework substrate including test runners, instrumentation drivers, data logging, traceability hooks, and error-code libraries
- Standardize and maintain declarative toolchain infrastructure using NixOS, moving from mixed Linux/Windows/macOS development environments to a single config-managed target
- Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines for test code deployment, version control discipline, and code review practices
- Integrate test systems with Anduril factory systems including MES, Oracle ERP, and Teamcenter PLM to ensure traceability and automated data capture
- Provide floor support for test failures, debugging hardware-tester-software integration issues and resolving production bottlenecks

What You Need

- Degree in Software, Computer, Electrical, Mechatronic, or related engineering discipline, or equivalent demonstrable experience
- Strong Python programming skills with proven experience building, maintaining, and debugging test frameworks—not just scripts
- Expert‑level Linux and command-line proficiency as your primary working setting, comfortable with system configuration, process management, and network debugging
- Hands‑on experience writing software that drives test instruments and hardware through real interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, RS232/RS485, CAN, I2C, SPI, or GPIB
- Practical electronics troubleshooting ability with oscilloscope, multimeter, and logic analyzer to isolate problems across product, tester, and cabling




- GUI development experience building user-facing test consoles or operator interfaces with frameworks such as PyQt, Tkinter, web stacks, or LabVIEW
- Software engineering discipline including version control, configuration management, test code testing, and reproducibility practices
- Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government NV2 Security Clearance as an Australian citizen

Nice to Have

- Experience in production test environments rather than R&D; test benches, including knowledge of technician workflows under time pressure and shift handovers
- Familiarity with declarative configuration systems such as NixOS, Ansible, Puppet, or Chef
- Experience with test frameworks including LabVIEW, TestStand, or pytest‑based test harnesses
- Knowledge of test metrics including first-pass yield, false‑fail rate, tester utilization, GR&R;, and test coverage
- Integration experience with MES systems (Solumina, Ae), ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, NetSuite), or PLM systems (Teamcenter)
- Subsea robotics, AUV, or UUV domain experience
- Background in AS9100/ISO 9001 quality environments and configuration‑management discipline
- Embedded firmware experience including flashing, debugging, datasheet reading, and bootloader interaction
- Experience integrating with hazardous systems such as high-voltage (up to 400V), hydraulics, or compressed gas environments

Highly competitive equity grants included in majority of full-time offers; top-tier benefits package available at little to no cost to employees. Actual salary offer varies based on work experience, education, critical skills, and business considerations.
