Primordial Labs is an autonomy company that builds natural-language human-machine interfaces and edge-deployable autonomy software (branded Anura) for defense and national security customers. The team combines engineers and former special operators to rapidly prototype and deploy AI-driven, NLP-enabled systems that can run on constrained edge hardware — including drones and other fielded platforms. Primordial Labs operates as a distributed, fully remote company focused on delivering practical autonomy and mission-focused solutions for warfighters.

📋 Description

• Define the testing strategy from automated suites on every build through simulation and system-level tests on real platforms • Design and build automated test and evaluation capabilities running on simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments • Build and maintain end-to-end performance scenarios, including failure cases such as ambiguous commands, lost links, and unexpected mission changes • Develop and own test KPIs based on acceptance criteria and mission-level performance measures • Track KPIs across builds, identify defects that pass test gates, and report results to leadership and customers • Set build-entry criteria for physical testing and provide final readiness sign-off for customer releases • Convert physical-test field data into replayable regression cases and evaluation additions • Lead physical test engineers, oversee test planning and field events, and grow the team • Travel occasionally to test ranges and field events • Produce test reports and readiness evidence for leadership, customers, and program offices • Partner with systems engineering, mission engineering, simulation, and DevOps teams • Keep test independent from the engineering teams it evaluates
