Senior Quality Engineer, Applied AI

ABOUT THE TEAM

CorpTech Platform is the internal engineering force multiplier behind Andurils corporate systems.
It drives CorpTech engineering forward through strategic investment in data platforms software platforms QA and release excellence ERP engineering and AI infrastructure.

We build the foundations that power both CorpOS enabling Finance and Growth to operate with speed and precision and ArsenalOS the digital backbone of Andurils hardware enterprise. By unifying systems accelerating development velocity and embedding intelligence into every layer CorpTech Platform transforms how the company operates end to end.

We are also driving Anduril toward becoming an autonomous enterprise. Through initiatives like the Autonomous Software Factory we are rethinking how software is built tested deployed and evolved by integrating AI directly into the engineering lifecycle.

This is not a support function. It is a strategic engine. CorpTech Platform is how Anduril scales its business systems with the same rigor speed and adaptability as its mission critical products.

ABOUT THE JOB:

Mission Control is the team responsible for quality assurance release management and incident management across the systems Andurils factories run on. When a product line moves from design to a finished article it crosses PLM ERP MES and WMS and the seams between them are where quality is won or lost. This role is the senior technical anchor for proving those seams hold. You will build the automated system integration tests that exercise real product lines end to end simulate the workload and data of a live production environment and make it possible for the engineers and operators closest to the work to verify quality themselves.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Design build and own automated system integration tests that exercise Anduril product lines end to end across multiple systems rather than validating single services in isolation.
• Simulate production workload and data for those product lines so tests reflect what the factory actually does and build mechanisms that detect when the simulation drifts from reality.
• Leverage AI to author maintain and triage tests faster and turn that into capability for others so the people closest to the problems can ensure quality themselves.
• Reason about distributed architecture and reconcile intent implementation and observed production reality tracing failures across service network and vendor boundaries to the actual cause.
• Set test strategy release readiness criteria and quality gates for the release train and make them fast enough that teams choose to use them.
• Build the observability instrumentation and environment strategy that turn a failing test or a production incident into a clear actionable signal.
• Partner with the engineering teams that own the systems under test and with business partners on the floor to move quality upstream into design and acceptance criteria.
• Contribute directly in code infrastructure and tooling to improve developer feedback loops test reliability and production stability.
• Support launch readiness production issue response root cause analysis and post-incident follow-through with a bias toward eliminating classes of failure rather than repeatedly reacting to them.
• Set the technical standard for testing craft across Mission Control through review pairing and example without becoming a bottleneck or a bureaucracy.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8 years of experience in software engineering software development engineering in test site reliability engineering quality engineering infrastructure engineering or a closely related role in a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated experience building and operating automated integration or end-to-end test suites for production systems including ownership of environments test data and CI execution.
• Strong technical fluency in modern software architectures APIs distributed systems CI/CD and cloud or platform infrastructure.
• Experience reasoning about failures that cross system boundaries with strong debugging root cause analysis and incident response instincts.
• Experience working with frontier AI tooling AI coding assistants or agentic systems including awareness of the quality and reliability challenges these systems introduce.
• Ability to move between hands-on implementation and systems-level quality strategy with sound judgment on where rigor is required versus where speed is appropriate.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence senior engineers cross-functional stakeholders and business partners on quality and reliability trade-offs.
• Degree in Computer Science Information Systems Engineering or related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience testing enterprise or manufacturing systems such as ERP MES WMS PLM or CRM particularly workflows that span several of them.
• Experience generating or anonymizing production-like data and load for test environments and detecting drift between test assumptions and production behavior.
• Experience with modern browser and API automation frameworks such as Playwright along with strategies for keeping large suites fast and non-flaky.
• Experience supporting AI-first or AI-accelerated engineering teams including designing quality controls around non-deterministic system behavior.
• Experience with infrastructure as code cloud platforms observability stacks release engineering and production operations.
• Experience in hyper growth startup-like environments with demonstrated success balancing speed ambiguity and engineering rigor.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
