About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Have 5 years of experience in Operations Research, Systems Analysis (ORSA), or a related discipline.
  • Have experience with tactical experiment 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 red force tactics, modeling, and simulation.
  • Have experience with Department of Defense modeling and simulation tools such as AFSIM, Brawler, Suppressor, ESAMS, or Command PE.
  • Be proficient in C++ or Python for physics-based modeling and scripting.
  • Be able to assess and solve problems, and effectively communicate results verbally and in writing.
  • Be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.

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.
