Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p>ABOUT THE TEAM</p>
<p>Our team builds, tests, integrates, and scales Modeling, Simulation, Analysis (MSA) 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.</p>
<p>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 (MSA) will often complement demonstration events that together leave no doubt that Anduril offers real (not PowerPoint) warfighter capability. </p>
<p>WHAT YOU’LL DO</p>
<ul>
<li>Conduct joint and combined tactical (engagement-level and mission-level) analysis. Employ operations research, systems analysis, and wargaming to develop methodologies for analysis.</li>

<li>Perform data analysis and utilize computer models to devise solutions for intricate challenges, applying the principles of scientific inquiry and advanced analytics.</li>
<li>Design, execute, and analyze tactical-level wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities and refine tactics .</li>
<li>Develop physics-based models and relevant operational scenarios for wargaming exercises, with an emphasis on modeling red and blue force systems and tactics .</li>
<li>Create and drive simulated entities during live play as a white cell or red cell operator to ensure realistic and challenging wargame execution.</li>
<li>Assess, decompose, and solve complex problems, conveying complex information and effectively communicating results to internal and external stakeholders.</li>
<li>Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate Anduril's capabilities and value proposition through rigorous, data-driven analysis.</li>
