Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

At Anduril, we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface, surface, land, and air domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of multi-mission capability to our customers.

We are looking for our next Lead Warfighting Systems Analyst to join our rapidly growing team in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The candidate will first be hired into London, UK, before relocating upon completion of the center.

The Warfighter Simulation Team Lead is a project manager responsible for producing, iterating, and supporting Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (M&SA) including wargaming and experimentation for Anduril products.

This has a three-fold purpose: Train the customer in Anduril capabilities, conduct internal analysis to support the iterative improvement of current and future products, and learn the specific customers’ needs to ensure we produce the right product for the right reasons.

As the team leader, you will need to serve as the fusion between analysts, wargamers, system administrators and engineers, and warfighters. You will be responsible for game design, systems, warfighter interactions, and a Agile team of wargaming analysts.

  • Design, execute, and analyze tactical (engagement-level and mission-level) analysis and wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities and refine tactics
  • Develop physics-based models and relevant operational scenarios, with an emphasis on modeling red and blue force systems and tactics
  • Assess system-of-systems interactions, integration risks, dependencies, constraints, and mission impacts
  • Lead the wargamers, system administrators, and operations personnel to ensure the center remains operational, providing training services to warfighters, who also participate in wargaming and training
  • Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate Anduril's capabilities and value proposition through rigorous, data-driven analysis

  • 7+ years of experience in Operations Research, Systems Analysis (ORSA), systems engineering, mission engineering, test and evaluation, or a related technical-operational discipline
  • 4+ years of experience in project management, agile project management, SCRUM, KANBAN, etc.
  • Experience with tactical experiments and wargaming design, including scenario development, data analytics, and trade-space analysis
  • Ability to connect system performance, architecture, and design choices to mission outcomes
  • Ability to assess and solve problems, and to effectively communicate results through strong verbal and written skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a country specific Top Secret security clearance
  • Experience with DevOps, DevSecOps, and other hardware/software integrations
  • Operational military background with a subsequent transition into an ORSA, M&S, or Operations Analyst position
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, operational test, or experimentation
  • Experience developing KPPs, KSAs, MOEs, MOPs, requirements, test objectives, or system performance assessments
