Wargaming Research & Systems Analyst Red Cell Lead

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. In addition to the physical systems being produced, Anduril is providing training and experimentation services to our partners and customers. These projects require Warfighting Systems Analysts who can connect operational needs to system architecture, technical performance, integration choices, and mission-level outcomes. The Lead Warfighting Systems Analyst is 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. The Lead Warfighter Systems Analyst will be the first hire and lead role in an extremely Agile team of wargaming analysts who will be the plank owners of a new simulation center being built in the UAE. This role is ideal for individuals who can reason across military operations and technical systems, evaluate performance tradeoffs, develop and deploy scenarios with Python and YAML, and communicate how system design decisions affect operational utility.
