Senior Quality Engineer, Applied AI

Senior Quality Engineer, Applied AI Costa Mesa, California, United States Apply Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. 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 CorpTech Platform is the internal engineering force multiplier behind Anduril’s 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 Anduril’s 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 Anduril's 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 YOU'LL 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
