Staff Test Automation Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM
The Software Platform Foundations team at Anduril is dedicated to building the foundational systems that empower our engineering teams to develop test and deploy cutting-edge defense technology with unparalleled efficiency and reliability. We design and implement sophisticated automated systems that enhance efficiency reduce manual labor and optimize critical processes and control systems across our software development lifecycle and production pipelines. As a Software Engineer on this team you will be instrumental in ensuring the quality traceability and rapid deployment of our software solutions directly contributing to our mission of delivering advanced autonomous systems.

ABOUT THE ROLE
Ensuring we deliver high quality trustable products is table stakes. Every regression you catch every manual test you automate away every closed loop you implement to flag and fix issues has material impact on Engineerings ability to build awesome products fast. As the Staff Test Automation Engineer you will work within a complex ecosystem system (multi-stage release pipelines Cloud and Robot environments etc..) and up and down the entire stack where architectural decisions have concrete measurable consequences and correctness matters. This is how Lattice gets to customers safely and how operators trust the platform in the field - and how every SWP team ships without breaking the teams next to them. This role and this team is what makes that possible at scale.

This role is open to senior technical leaders ready to own the architecture of how Software Platform ships the Integrated Continuous Release (ICR) pipeline full automation of local and integrated end-to-end test environments and enforcement of contract-verification models that every Lattice service will ship against. If youve spent your career building the frameworks and infrastructure that other engineers depend on and you want to do it on systems that protect real defense technology this role is for you!

WHAT YOULL DO

• Build and implement robust automated systems for both development verification and deployment ensuring the highest standards of quality and performance for our software tools land product offerings.
• Develop and own the reference environment that Lattice workflows are verified in ahead of release.
• Define build and maintain comprehensive representative full stack test environments including hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) systems with an understanding of how software performs on physical hardware and resource optimization.
• Design and implement critical software interfaces and product features that facilitate seamless end-to-end testing across complex systems
• Drive the continuous integration of performance testing into CI/CD pipelines establishing and enforcing performance baselines and championing reliability engineering best practices to proactively identify and prevent regressions across the entire software stack.
• Define and implement AI-enabled automation which enables us to find and fix issues early in the dev cycle without impacting the developer experience.
• Be a champion for champion for quality!

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 15 years of proven experience building automated verification suites at scale.
• Proficient at DevOps practices CI/CD pipeline development (e.g. Jenkins GitLab CI GitHub Actions) SRE principles automated testing frameworks scripting for automation understanding of software development lifecycles.
• Deep experience with Frontend and Backend services and architectures and proven experience with these at scale.
• Hands-on experience automating Hardware-in-The-Loop (HITL) and Software-in-The-Loop (SITL) engineering and utilization in production release process.
• Expertise in developing and implementing various software development tests including automated regression testing unit testing and integration testing.
• Proficiency in Python for automation scripting and system development.
• Professional experience with containerization workflows and Terraform.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Software Engineering Electrical Engineering Mathematics Physics or a related technical field or equivalent practical industry experience.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS Azure GCP) and containerization technologies (e.g. Docker Kubernetes).
• NixOS experience
• Experience working in a regulated industry or with systems requiring high reliability and traceability.
