As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM The Air Dominance and Strike Division is one of Anduril's fastest growing, most technically complex divisions.

ABOUT THE JOB You own whether the test program delivers on schedule, on cost, and at the throughput the production ramp demands. Your accountability is the program-level outcome: are we testing fast enough, at low enough cost, with high enough confidence to support delivery commitments? Success in this position hinges on three key facets: * Program-level test performance - you drive test plan development and acceptance criteria alongside engineering, but you own the schedule and cost outcome.

When test is the bottleneck, you diagnose why, challenge priorities, and make the call on what moves. * Automation maturation - what takes days today needs to take hours as rate scales. You drive the prioritization and investment decisions that make test automation real, not aspirational.

* Technical credibility - you understand the systems well enough to ask the right questions when a test fails. You do not wait for escalation. You drive resolution across engineering and production because you understand the technical context.
