Job description

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

We are working on cutting-edge autonomous airpower systems that need to operate in the most demanding environments. To support our development and deployment tasks, we are building a Systems Engineering team to guide Digital Engineering strategy and complement our Mission Software Engineering, Product Engineering, and Business Development teams. This team will provide Model Based Systems Engineering and Requirements Based Testing artifacts which will be used in support of product development, delivery, and sustainment of advanced mission autonomy systems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Red-team designs, models, and analyses across a program
• Build models and simulations needed to prove or break a claim.
• Work as a systems engineer to support Program Management, Mission Software Engineers, and Operations Analysts.
• Communicate complex results, including strong visual presentation of data, to engineers, leadership, and stakeholders

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
• B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, computer science or similar engineering or technical field

• Experience with MODSIM environments like AFSIM or JSE
• Understanding of underlying MODSIM environment interfaces and behaviors
• Experience with requirements analysis and system design in a government context
• Proficiency with writing and owning systems-level requirements
• Strong engineering background in a relevant field (Aerospace, Dynamics & Controls, GNC, Systems, or similar)
• Experience with Systems Engineering, Requirements Elicitation and Management, Integration, and Test Activities on complex systems - DoD Weapon Systems, Space Systems, etc...
• Experience with SysML, DoDAF, UAFP, or similar

• Experience with Cameo MagicDraw or similar systems engineering software (Rhapsody, SparxEA, etc...)
• Outstanding communication skills, including visual presentation of complex data

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Hands-on track record of both designing/building and analyzing real engineering systems — not analysis-only
• Demonstrated ability to find problems others miss: failure analysis, adversarial review, independent verification, or equivalent
• Proven track record of independently owning and executing deliverables with little to no management
• Proficiency with physics-math scripting (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, Python + numpy/scipy)
