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.

Mission Assurance Analysts are in charge of rapidly provisioning classified, closed, or air gapped environments in which to deploy Anduril products or software. Well versed in a combination of Information Technology, Security and government accreditation processes, Mission Assurance Analysts are forward thinkers able to utilize their sharp critical thinking skills to resolve conflicts with customer approval processes, product velocity, monitoring the security baseline of an information system, and are at the forefront of getting our software and hardware greenlit for real-world deployment.

Anduril’s closed programs house a variety of networking infrastructures, operating systems, and software environments. Mission Assurance Analysts monitor closed program infrastructures to maintain the standards outlined within the Risk Management Framework and other related frameworks.
