Calibration Technician

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 Calibration Technician to ensure the reliability, accuracy, and uptime of our physical test equipment across all ETC domains. The organization's ability to meet program deadlines depends directly on equipment being properly calibrated, well-maintained, and fully operational. The equipment spans thermal chambers, electrodynamic shakers, battery test stations, propulsion measurement systems, wind tunnel instrumentation, structural load cells, and all supporting DAQ and instrumentation systems. The ideal candidate brings hands-on test and measurement equipment experience, strong troubleshooting instincts across multiple equipment types, and takes genuine pride in equipment performance and uptime.
