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 Enterprise Test Capabilities (ETC) develops, operates, and scales the shared physical test infrastructure, technical expertise, and execution systems required to validate Anduril's products across the company. The team provides specialized testing that is capital-intensive, technically complex, safety-critical, or broadly reusable across multiple programs, spanning environmental testing (thermal, vibration, shock, HALT, TVAC), battery testing (cell/module/pack characterization, abuse testing, BMS validation), propulsion testing (engine test cells, thrust/torque measurement, fuel/feed systems), aerodynamic testing (wind tunnel operations, flow visualization, force/moment measurement), and structural testing. We partner with product test teams from early development through qualification and sustainment to identify technical risk, select appropriate test methods, execute testing safely, and generate trusted engineering evidence. The test operations team within ETC owns the lab facilities, equipment fleet, calibration program, and operational support team that keeps this diverse test enterprise running. ABOUT THE JOB We are seeking a Test Operations Manager to provide dedicated operational leadership across ETC's diverse portfolio of physical test laboratories spanning multiple buildings and sites. The purpose of this role is to achieve excellent operational oversight, solving scheduling bottlenecks, clearing inconsistent equipment readiness, and preventing reactive maintenance cycles. This person will serve as the single point of accountability for lab operations, directly managing the calibration technicians, lab administrator, and lab coordinators.  They will own the master test schedule across all test domains and ensure that every program team can get the facility time and equipment access they need, when they need it. WHAT YOU'LL DO Directly manage a team of calibration technicians, a lab administrator, and lab coordinators, including hiring, performance reviews, professional development, and day-to-day direction Develop staffing plans to support current and projected lab utilization demands across all test domains, including shift coverage and surge capacity Support the scaling of ETC's physical footprint, assisting with capacity expansion plans, new test facility standup, and ensuring operational readiness as the organization grows across sites.
