Lead Software Test and Release Engineer

WHY WE'RE HERE:

The Vehicle Autonomy (Robotics) team at Anduril develops aerial and ground-based robotic systems. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Anvil, and our Sentry Tower from paper sketches to operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Autonomy, and Manufacturing to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers, roboticists, and front-end and mobile developers who are excited about creating a powerful robotics platform that can be tasked and viewed in real-time through a variety of interfaces.

We are looking to bring on a Lead Test and Release Engineer to build an augmented automated code testing framework for the Robotics team. This person will work with a team that will develop processes & tools that allow Anduril to develop and release safety critical systems quickly and reliably. A strong Test and Release engineer will have a proven track record of developing CI/CD pipelines and a background in development, operations, and automated test coverage infrastructure, both on-device and in the cloud.
