Anduril is a defense technology company, bringing Silicon Valley talent and funding to the defense sector. Our technology helps our customers solve their toughest challenges by enabling them to make better, more informed decisions in life-and-death situations. We’ve assembled a diverse team of experts in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, optics, and data analysis that are creating software and hardware solutions to radically evolve the capabilities of the United States and our allies. If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact, come join Anduril and build the future of defense.

Anduril builds cutting edge complex systems that need to operate in the harshest of conditions. To support our development and deployments tasks, we are expanding our Mission Simulation team in our Catalyst organization to develop and support mission-level and engagement-level simulations across the company and its products. This team creates simulation products and tools, integrates our simulations and scenarios in software-in-the-loop (SITL) environments, supports development of products in the field through live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulation, and collaborates with other teams in operations analysis, mission autonomy, robotics software, mission planning, and distributed simulation.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You will be the lead analyst within the Mission Simulation team, developing our library of scenarios and models that will span product lines and technologies, interfacing with stakeholders across internal programs, collaborating with the Operations Analysis team, and playing a lead role to help to steer simulation development by identifying critical features and capabilities. You will leverage your knowledge and experience to increase the fidelity and realism of our simulations and scenarios and play a vital role in building SITL capabilities and coordinating LVC exercises, leaving no doubt that Anduril delivers real (not PowerPoint) capabilities to the warfighter.

You will:

Develop mission-level and engagement-level models for movers, sensors, comms, and weapons
Create a comprehensive collection of behaviors and tactics for a wide range of platforms
Work closely with autonomy teams throughout the organization
