Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Software Engineering Manager to lead the Simulation Platforms team within the Air Dominance & Strike division. This team develops high-fidelity simulation platforms used to evaluate advanced aerospace and mission systems in realistic, contested environments. The role involves building digital models and modern, parametric simulators that represent sophisticated adversary behaviors, enabling rapid iteration cycles for testing and training.
Key responsibilities include growing and mentoring the engineering team while fostering a high-performance culture. You will partner closely with the Chief Engineer to define technical direction, modernize simulation architectures from legacy monolithic frameworks into modern, modular systems with stable APIs, robust versioning, and automated testing. This work spans software engineering, systems engineering, real-time simulation, and API design with direct impact on how next-generation defense platforms are evaluated.
You will maintain and build strong relationships with key stakeholders across government-owned simulation environments and defense funding, acquisition, and innovation agencies. Additionally, you will partner with business development teams to identify new opportunities, evaluate technical feasibility, and lead technical proposal writing to expand the team's footprint.
The long-term vision is to modernize legacy simulation frameworks into modern, modular architectures that enable rapid innovation and seamless integration across Anduril's portfolio of aerial and multi-domain robotic systems, including platforms like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile).
