Integration and Test Engineer (Iron Bird), Omen

Anduril is seeking an Integration & Test Engineer (Iron Bird) specializing in HIL/HITL (Hardware in Lab/Hardware In The Loop) to join the Omen team at our Costa Mesa HQ. Omen is Andurils 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.
