Operations Analyst, Wargaming

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

About The Team

Our team builds, tests, integrates, and scales Modeling, Simulation, & Analysis (MS&A) tools that beautifully visualizes both real and simulated historical or live data. Our MS&A tools create a wargaming capability that brings visions to life in a 2D environment as well as an immersive 3D extended reality environment. It lets users create "what ifs" to evaluate mission concepts, drive future mission tactics, and accelerate mission understanding. This new team will provide rigorous analytical products which will be used to guide product development and convince customers of our value advantage. It is often used for Business Development and Engineering purposes.

You will be an operations analysis Swiss-army knife who will interface with stakeholders including internal programs and external customers. You will carefully listen to stakeholder needs and then design rigorous math and physics analyses leading to clear and compelling value propositions. Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) will often complement demonstration events that together leave no doubt that Anduril offers real (not PowerPoint) warfighter capability.

What You'll Do

1. Development wargaming capabilities using Anduril Mission Sim platform
2. Develop physics-based models/scenarios for wargaming exercises
3. Develop a deep understanding of transformational value of Anduril platform, autonomy, simulation, and perception products
4. Use our advanced internal M&S capabilities to give our analyses and asymmetric advantage over competitors
5. Convey the value through life of AI-powered distributed systems over traditional industrial offerings
6. Identify problems; solve them: implement robust, high-quality solutions
