Anduril Industries is seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead the Warfighting Simulation Center team in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This role combines project management with systems analysis and wargaming expertise to support the development and validation of Anduril's autonomous defense systems. You will serve as the project manager and team lead for standing up a tactical wargaming center, responsible for designing and executing modeling, simulation, and analysis (M&SA) activities including wargames and experimentation. Your work will serve three core purposes: training customers in Anduril capabilities, conducting internal analysis to support iterative product improvement, and understanding customer needs to ensure product-market fit. Key responsibilities include developing customer-focused scenarios, designing and executing tactical analysis and wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities, developing physics-based models of operational scenarios, assessing system-of-systems interactions and integration risks, leading a team of wargamers and system administrators, and collaborating with engineering and business development to demonstrate Anduril's value proposition through data-driven analysis. You will act as the fusion point between analysts, wargamers, system administrators, engineers, and warfighters. Success requires reasoning across military operations and technical systems, leading interdisciplinary teams, communicating effectively to stakeholders, and maintaining project schedules and budgets. Required: 7+ years in Operations Research, Systems Analysis, systems engineering, mission engineering, test and evaluation, or related discipline; 4+ years project management experience (Agile, SCRUM, KANBAN); tactical experimentation and wargaming design experience; ability to connect system performance to mission outcomes; strong problem-solving and communication skills; active country-specific Secret security clearance. Preferred: PMP or equivalent; Top Secret clearance eligibility; DevOps/DevSecOps experience; military operational background; model-based systems engineering or digital engineering experience; familiarity with defense systems, autonomous systems, maritime/undersea systems, sensors, C2, or ISR.
