Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Mission Engineer to join its Mission Engineering Operations team. This role focuses on developing rigorous, data-driven analytical products to guide business strategy, inform military requirements, and investigate concepts of employment for air dominance and strike systems.
You will engage directly with internal and external stakeholders to translate complex questions into physics-based analyses, often designing experiments using mission-level simulations. Working within Anduril's advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities, you will employ the scientific method to develop model-driven analyses and generate clear, compelling analytical artifacts with actionable conclusions. Your work will directly support demonstration events that quantify how Anduril's autonomy, AI, and sensor fusion technologies deliver mission success to warfighters.
Key responsibilities include developing deep understanding of Anduril's platform, autonomy, simulation, and perception products; leveraging advanced internal M&S capabilities to provide competitive analytical advantage; and translating complex technical findings into clear summaries for both internal program teams and external customers through exceptional written and verbal communication.
Required qualifications: 8+ years in relevant science or engineering; active U.S. Secret security clearance (maintainable); proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or Simulink; demonstrated experience in platform M&S (aero, fuel, signature modeling) and payload M&S (radar, EOIR, communications, weapons); working knowledge of OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, electronic attack, or long-range fires domains; exceptional communication and presentation skills.
Preferred qualifications include ability to obtain Top Secret clearance, 2+ years AFSIM scripting experience, demonstrated ability to lead operations analysis studies from concept to completion, signal processing experience (track fusion, filtering), and RF propagation modeling experience.
