About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently possess and be able to maintain an active country-specific Secret security clearance.
  • Have 7 or more years of experience in Operations Research, Systems Analysis, systems engineering, mission engineering, test and evaluation, or a related technical-operational discipline.
  • Have experience with tactical experiments and wargaming design, including scenario development, data analytics, and trade-space analysis.
  • Have demonstrated experience in modeling and simulation for military missions, preferably with a background in friendly and adversary tactics.
  • Be proficient with C++ or Python for physics-based modeling and scripting.
  • Be able to connect system performance, architecture, and design choices to mission outcomes.
  • Be able to assess and solve problems, and communicate results effectively through verbal and written communication.

Responsibilities

  • Leverage high-end models and simulations, including Anduril's Lattice Mission Simulation (MissionSim), to conduct simulation, experimentation, and training.
  • Develop scenarios based on customer needs to demonstrate capabilities.
  • Support engineering and product teams by evaluating how platform, payload, autonomy, sensor, effector, communications, navigation, or command-and-control choices affect mission outcomes.
  • Design, execute, and analyze tactical engagement-level and mission-level analysis and wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities and refine tactics.
  • Develop physics-based models and relevant operational scenarios, with an emphasis on modeling red and blue force systems and tactics.
  • Assess system-of-systems interactions, integration risks, dependencies, constraints, and mission impacts.
  • Lead warfighting capability analysts to ensure system analysis remains grounded in real operational problems and customer needs.
  • Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate Anduril's capabilities and value proposition through rigorous, data-driven analysis.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Department of Defense modeling and simulation tools such as AFSIM, Brawler, Suppressor, ESAMS, or Command PE.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a country-specific Top Secret security clearance.
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Operations Research, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • Operational military background followed by transition into an Operations Research and Systems Analysis, modeling and simulation, or Operations Analyst position.
  • Experience with AFSIM plug-in development or other advanced modeling and simulation framework customization.
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, operational test, or experimentation.
  • Experience developing key performance parameters, key system attributes, measures of effectiveness, measures of performance, requirements, test objectives, or system performance assessments.
  • Experience with defense systems, autonomous systems, maritime systems, undersea systems, sensors, effectors, communications, navigation, command and control, or intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance mission systems.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
