Full Job Description


ABOUT THE TEAM

Our team builds, tests, integrates, and scales Modeling, Simulation, & Analysis (MS&A) tools that beautifully visualize both real-world and simulated historical and/or live data. This capability 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. These products will often be used for Business Development and Engineering purposes.

As a Warfighter Research & Systems Analyst, you will be a key team member with a background as an Operations Research and Systems Analyst (ORSA), data scientist, or wargamer, possibly with an operational military background. You will use your understanding of tactical wargaming and simulation to create scenarios, develop models, and support analysis to demonstrate the value of Anduril's systems. 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
  • Conduct joint and combined tactical (engagement-level and mission-level) analysis. Employ operations research, systems analysis, and wargaming to develop methodologies for analysis.
  • Leverage high-end models and simulations, including Anduril's Lattice Mission Simulation and the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM), to conduct studies.
  • Perform data analysis and utilize computer models to devise solutions for intricate challenges, applying the principles of scientific inquiry and advanced analytics.
  • Design, execute, and analyze tactical-level wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities and refine tactics .
  • Develop physics-based models and relevant operational scenarios for wargaming exercises, with an emphasis on modeling red and blue force systems and tactics .
  • Create and drive simulated entities during live play as a white cell or red cell operator to ensure realistic and challenging wargame execution.
  • Assess, decompose, and solve complex problems, conveying complex information and effectively communicating results to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate Anduril's capabilities and value proposition through rigorous, data-driven analysis.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Currently possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
  • 5 years of experience in Operations Research, Systems Analysis (ORSA), or a related 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.
  • Experience with DoD M&S tools (e.g., AFSIM, Brawler, Suppressor, ESAMS, Command PE).
  • Proficiency with C++ or Python for physics-based modeling and scripting.
  • Ability to assess and solve problems, and to effectively communicate results through strong verbal and written skills
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DOD Top Secret security clearance
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Operations Research, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field.
  • Operational military background with a subsequent transition into an ORSA or Operations Analyst position.
  • Experience with AFSIM plug-in development or other advanced M&S framework customization .
  • Proficiency with data analysis and visualization tools such as Tableau, or scripting languages like MATLAB/SIMULINK .
  • Graduate of a military operations research course, such as the ORSA Military Application Course (ORSA-MAC), or equivalent service school.
  • Experience with Joint Combined Arms operations (e.g., OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, or Long-Range Fires missions)
