## About the role

Anduril's Space business is standing up manufacturing and test for multiple space vehicle lines at once — moving from development builds today into full rate production within four years. The Senior Manager, Test Operations will build and lead the test organization that makes that ramp possible: vehicle and subassembly acceptance and qualification test, environmental test operations, test station and ground support equipment engineering, and the procedures and data systems behind them.

- Define and own vehicle-level and subassembly acceptance test procedures and qualification campaigns, including test flow, entrance and exit criteria, and data review gates
- Lead Test Readiness Reviews and test campaign readiness assessments, serve as approval authority for test procedures run on flight hardware
- Drive design-for-test requirements into vehicle, payload and subassembly designs before CDR, with the explicit objective of reducing test duration and test station count at rate
- Challenge inherited test requirements: identify tests that can be combined, moved to a lower assembly level, automated, or eliminated at acceptable risk, and carry those cases through the requirement owners with data
