Principal Operations Analyst, Wargaming

ABOUT THE TEAM

Our team builds, tests, integrates, and scales Modeling, Simulation, & Analysis (MS&A) tools that beautifully visualizes both real and simulated historical or live data. Our MS&A tools create a wargaming capability that brings visions to life in a 2D environment as well as an immersive 3D extended reality environment. It lets users create “what ifs” to evaluate mission concepts, drive future mission tactics, and accelerate mission understanding. This new team will provide rigorous analytical products which will be used to guide product development and convince customers of our value advantage. It is often used for Business Development and Engineering purposes.

You will be an operations analysis Swiss-army knife who will interface with stakeholders including internal programs and external customers. You will carefully listen to stakeholder needs and then design rigorous math and physics analyses leading to clear and compelling value propositions. Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) will often complement demonstration events that together leave no doubt that Anduril offers real (not PowerPoint) warfighter capability. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Under direction of the Program Manager, lead a team of Operations Analysts in the development of wargaming capabilities using Anduril Mission Sim platform
• Develop physics-based models/scenarios for wargaming exercises
• Develop a deep understanding of transformational value of Anduril platform, autonomy, simulation, and perception products
• Use our advanced internal M&S capabilities to give our analyses and asymmetric advantage over competitors
• Convey the value through life of AI-powered distributed systems over traditional industrial offerings
• Identify problems; solve them: implement robust, high-quality solutions

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Military mission MS&A experience. For example, working knowledge of OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, or Long-Range Fires missions
• Platform MS&A experience— for example, value proposition analyses comparisons involving aero, fuel, and signature modeling
• Payload MS&A experience— for example, physics-based trade-space analyses for radar, EOIR, communications, or weapons payloads.
• 2+ years DoD M&S scripting experience— the more, the better (AFSIM, Brawler, Suppressor, ESAMS, Command PE, etc.)
• Outstanding communication skills to include visual presentation of complex data and communicating technical details to a non-technical audience
• Proficiency with physics-math scripting of your choice (e.g., MATLAB, SIMULINK, Python + NumPy/SciPy)
• 5+ years in relevant Science and/or Engineering related field
• Must currently hold an active U.S. Secret clearance
