Senior Hardware Test Engineer

The Team

What You'll Do

• Design test approaches, fixtures/harnesses, and automated validation workflows that exercise hardware/software systems in lab and pre-field environments.
• Build requirement-traceable test coverage spanning functional validation, regression, qualification, and environmental test readiness.
• Develop Python, Bash, Robot Framework, or equivalent automation used to configure systems, drive equipment, collect evidence, and flag regressions.
• Operate across RF test equipment, networking, infrastructure, and system-control surfaces to validate integrated behavior end to end.
• Partner with software, FPGA, DSP, hardware, and systems engineers to reproduce issues, isolate failures, and improve release confidence.
• Help establish disciplined test plans, defect triage loops, and evidence packages that support productization and field readiness.

Required Qualifications

• Strong experience in automated test and validation using Python, Bash, Robot Framework, or comparable tooling.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD-backed regression systems, preferably with GitLab CI/CD or similar platforms.
• Hands-on familiarity with RF and hardware test equipment such as signal generators, analyzers, switch matrices, power systems, or environmental chambers.
• Ability to translate requirements into concrete test procedures, fixture/harness designs, coverage maps, and objective pass/fail evidence.
• Comfort working across Linux systems, networking, infrastructure, and hardware interfaces while debugging integrated failures.
• Strong defect-triage instincts and the ability to reproduce, isolate, and clearly communicate technical issues.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail in evidence capture, traceability, and release readiness.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with qualification testing, environmental testing, or standards-driven validation in defense, aerospace, or similarly rigorous domains.
• Background leading or coordinating small validation teams and establishing scalable engineering workflows.
• Familiarity with lab automation that spans both software control and physical instrumentation.
• Experience supporting field events, acceptance testing, or high-visibility readiness reviews.
• Working knowledge of mixed hardware/software/RF systems beyond pure software test automation.

Compensation

• The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
• Actual salary offer may vary based on work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.
