Systems Engineering Integration and Test Lead, IBCS-M

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h2>About the Team</h2> <p>Anduril's Air Defense team builds autonomous robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. This team is the nexus of premier Anduril-built products such as Roadrunner, Sentry, Anvil, Pulsar, and Wisp integrated into a software-enabled Air Defense family of systems tailored to the modern battlespace. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, we provide critical force protection capabilities to support the warfighter. Our autonomous family of networked sensors and effectors enables our users to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats that continue to evolve at a rapid pace.</p> <h2>About the Job</h2> <p>We're seeking a Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT) Lead to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA or Huntsville, AL, supporting the IBCS-M program. IBCS-M is a heavily software-defined system: the majority of "integration" on this program means bringing first-party Anduril systems and third-party partner systems onto the IBCS-M network and data fabric through SDKs, APIs, and secure connectivity, then proving via test that the resulting system performs as required in the field. This role owns that technical thread end to end: driving SDK and interface integration for new 1P and 3P assets, defining and executing the test campaigns that prove the system works, keeping requirements and configuration under control as the system evolves quickly across releases, and leading the program through its major technical gate reviews. You'll work daily across software engineering, test, and field teams, and serve as the primary technical bridge between those teams, program management, and the customer. This role suits someone who thinks in systems, is comfortable owning technical rigor (traceability, baselines, risk) without slowing down a fast-moving software program, and can represent the program credibly in front of both engineers and government stakeholders.</p> <p><br>The SEIT Lead works closely with the program's Technical Program Manager, who owns sprint cadence, backlog management, field support, and the logistics around test events and reviews — the SEIT Lead owns the technical substance and outcomes of integration, test, baselines, and gate reviews.</p> <h2>What You'll Do</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Direct integration across the system:</strong> Own the physical and functional integration of IBCS-M subsystems, working closely with hardware, software, and vendor teams to ensure components come together into a cohesive, working system. This includes driving SDK, API, and secure-connectivity integration for the program's growing set of first-party Anduril systems (e.g., Vampire, RPS-42, WISP) and third-party partner systems, ensuring each new asset can be reliably onboarded onto the IBCS-M network and data fabric.</li> <li><strong>Own test planning, execution, and validation:</strong> Define the technical test approach, pass/fail criteria, and test procedures needed to prove the system meets operational requirements, and make the enginee
