Job description

System Engineer, ModSim, Joint Simulation Environment (JSE)

Costa Mesa, California, United States; Washington, District of Columbia, United States

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
• 2+ years Systems Engineering Experience across the life cycle. The more, the better
