Job Summary
ABOUT THE JOB
At Anduril we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface surface land and air domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects require Warfighting Systems Analysts who can connect operational needs to system architecture technical performance integration choices and mission-level outcomes. We are looking for our next Warfighting Systems Analyst to join our rapidly growing team.
The Warfighting Systems Analyst supports the design evaluation and optimization of defense systems by focusing on how systems should be designed configured integrated and employed to deliver warfighting advantage. The analyst works at the intersection of mission engineering systems analysis operations research product development and technical trade-space evaluation. They translate operational problems into system-level questions leverage high-end models and simulations to assess technical and architectural alternatives and provide decision-quality analysis that helps engineering product and business leaders make informed choices. Modeling Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) will often complement demonstration events that together leave no doubt that Anduril offers real warfighter capability.
This role is ideal for individuals who can reason across military operations and technical systems evaluate performance tradeoffs and communicate how system design decisions affect operational utility.
WHAT YOULL DO
- Analyze system performance architecture integration options and design trades in the context of operational mission needs
- Translate warfighting requirements and operational constraints into system-level parameters performance thresholds and analytic frameworks
- Leverage high-end models and simulations including Andurils Lattice Mission Simulation and the Advanced Framework for Simulation Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) to conduct studies
- Support engineering and product teams by evaluating how platform payload autonomy sensor effector communications navigation or C2 choices affect mission outcomes
- Conduct trade studies comparing alternative system configurations architectures payloads deployment concepts and operational employment models
- 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
- Develop measures of performance key performance parameters key system attributes and operationally meaningful technical metrics
- Assess system-of-systems interactions integration risks dependencies constraints and mission impacts
- Partner with 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 Andurils capabilities and value proposition through rigorous data-driven analysis
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 8 years of experience in Operations Research Systems Analysis (ORSA) systems engineering mission engineering test and evaluation or a related technical-operational discipline
- Experience with tactical experiment and wargaming design including scenario development data analytics and trade-space analysis
- Demonstrated experience in modeling and simulation for military missions with a preference for a background in red force tactics modeling and simulation
- Demonstrated experience providing technical direction and mentorship to junior M&S engineers guiding analytic approach validating methodology and reviewing work products
- Experience with DoD M&S tools (e.g. AFSIM Brawler Suppressor ESAMS Command PE)
- Experience developing analytic products or tools usable by non-M&S specialists
- Proficiency with C or Python for physics-based modeling and scripting
- Ability to connect system performance architecture and design choices to mission outcomes
- Ability to assess and solve problems and to effectively communicate results through strong verbal and written skills
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Masters degree in Operations Research Engineering Computer Science Data Science Physics Mathematics or a related technical field
- Operational military background with a subsequent transition into an ORSA M&S or Operations Analyst position
- Experience with AFSIM plug-in development or other advanced M&S framework customization
- Experience with defense systems autonomous systems maritime systems undersea systems sensors effectors communications navigation C2 or ISR mission systems
- Familiarity with model-based systems engineering digital engineering operational test or experimentation
- Experience developing KPPs KSAs MOEs MOPs requirements test objectives or system performance assessments
- Proficiency with data analysis and visualization tools such as Tableau or scripting languages like MATLAB/SIMULINK
- Experience building or maturing an organizations M&S capability or tool stack from an early/immature state
- Experience leading or coordinating M&S efforts across geographically distributed teams
- 8 years of experience with the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps
