Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a senior technologist to join the Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team. The role focuses on modeling, simulation, and control-system development for weapon system effectiveness and real-time threat prediction.

You will build high-fidelity vehicle dynamics models, optimize asset tasking, and integrate these tools into the C2 software stack. A strong background in GNC, trajectory prediction, and state estimation is required, with security clearances

Qualifications

• 8+ years in algorithm design, software development, and modeling.
• Proven experience in GNC, trajectory prediction, and vehicle dynamics modeling.
• Strong math foundation: linear algebra, optimization, statistics.
• Experience with mission engineering, simulation, and modeling for validated models.

Responsibilities

• Contribute hands-on to a small, collaborative team within the Command and Control Software organization, applying your growing expertise in modeling, simulation, and control systems.
• Help develop computationally efficient high-fidelity models of vehicle dynamics, interceptor performance, and weapon system effectiveness to support real-time threat prediction and battle management decisions.
• Implement resource models and control systems that inform the allocation and tasking of assets against dynamic, contested threats.
• Build physics-based simulations and mission engineering tools that validate model behavior across diverse operational scenarios.
• Help develop trajectory prediction and state estimation capabilities to characterize how threats and friendly assets will move and behave over time.
• Support customer success by tailoring models and simulations for mission-critical use cases, including interceptor performance and threat prediction.
• Integrate modeling and simulation technologies into the broader command and control software stack, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.
• Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders, including colleagues, operators, and end-users.
