The Advanced Capabilities team at Anduril develops operationally relevant wargaming and training to customers in multiple regions. This position is in a new simulation center in Abu Dhabi to provide training and simulation services to partners and customers in the region.
ABOUT THE JOBWe are looking for a Wargame Designer to join our growing team in Abu Dhabi, UAE
. Initial role will be in London, UK
, while the simulation center is being constructed. In this role, you will:
- Research, design, and develop operationally relevant wargames within the Air Maneuver Dominance / Advanced Capabilities team, working directly with EDGE and the Emirati Ministry of Defense to translate customer objectives and operational problems into structured, immersive wargames built in Anduril’s own proprietary modeling and simulation tools and Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality software. You will own scenario design end-to-end, including operational context, orders of battle, friendly and adversary forces, objectives, timelines, victory conditions, and the analytic questions each event is meant to answer.
- Run and facilitate in-depth multi-day Wargaming Exercises, serving as the designer and control cell lead for planning, preparation, execution, and recovery. You will drive game play, adjudicate outcomes, manage friendly and opposition moves and injects, and adapt scenarios in real time to keep events challenging, credible, and aligned to customer learning objectives.
- Build and maintain a reusable library of wargame scenarios, models, and content in Anduril M&S and AR/VR software, refining and improving processes across our Software, Hardware, Logistics, Growth, and Engineering teams so that events can be rapidly configured, repeated, and scaled from small demonstrations to large exercises without loss of fidelity.
- Design and implement structured After-Action Reviews and user feedback loops to gather, triage, and prioritize insights, requirements, and challenges surfaced during wargames, exercises, and daily corporate demo use, and turn those findings into concrete improvements to scenarios, adjudication logic, and event delivery.
- Provide input to product and engineering teams to drive the development of features, models, and configurations that enhance or greatly improve Anduril’s wargaming, mission simulation, and Virtual Warfare products while you advocate for the tools and content designers need to build better wargames faster.
- Support end-users in understanding advanced warfare concepts through the development of relentlessly improving wargame content, integration into existing Anduril and customer systems, and delivery of effective events that maximize engagement and learning while minimizing the impact of hardware or software issues on the experience.
- Develop and contribute to an Advanced Capabilities team that includes cross-functional representation from Project and Program Managers, Operations Analysts, Mission Simulation Engineers, Wargaming Engineers, Design/Artists, senior Air Maneuver Dominance team and corporate leadership, other business lines, as well as customers. You will be critical to ensure the team continues to improve, refine, and streamline how wargames are designed, delivered, and learned from across both small-scale demos and large-scale exercises and events.
