Operations Analyst (Scenario Design), Discovery

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Lattice Showcase team at Anduril delivers immersive experiences that tell cohesive compelling stories about how Anduril products accomplish critical missions. Leveraging Sand Tableour internal 3D visualization platform that transforms data into interactive augmented reality environmentswe translate complex demonstrations into streamlined interactive showcases for government and military leaders. We work across multiple product linesintegrating capabilities from autonomy hardware and softwareto craft narratives that align all stakeholders around mission outcomes. Our work bridges engineering simulation and compelling storytelling: we take real-world demos running in simulation and transform them into polished interactive experiences that showcase how our technology delivers mission success. As a cross-functional team of designers operators and integrators we combine technical depth with narrative craft to demonstrate the full potential of Andurils capabilities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Scenario Designer on the Lattice Showcase team you will craft compelling and operationally credible demonstrations that showcase Andurils technology solving real-world defense challenges. You will work closely with product teams subject matter experts and military stakeholders to design implement and refine mission scenarios that align technical capabilities with customer needs and mission outcomes. Your work will translate complex multi-product demonstrations into clear engaging narratives optimized for decision-maker audiencesbalancing technical accuracy with storytelling that resonates.
