Wargaming Research & Systems Analyst — Red Cell Lead

ABOUT THE JOB

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 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.

We are looking for our next Lead Warfighting Systems Analyst to join our rapidly growing team in Abu Dhabi UAE. Initial hiring will be in London UK and the candidate will relocate upon initial completion of the simulation center.

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.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Leverage high-end models and simulations including Andurils Lattice Mission Simulation (Mission Sim) to conduct simulation experimentation and training
• Develop scenarios based on customer needs to demonstrate capabilities
• Support engineering and product teams by evaluating how platform payload autonomy sensor effector communications navigation or C2 choices affect mission outcomes
• Design execute and analyze tactical (engagement-level and mission-level) analysis and wargames to assess autonomous system capabilities and refine tactics
• Develop physics-based models and relevant operational scenarios with an emphasis on modeling red and blue force systems and tactics
• Assess system-of-systems interactions integration risks dependencies constraints and mission impacts
• Lead the war fighting capability analysts to ensure system analysis remains grounded in real operational problems and customer needs
• Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate Andurils capabilities and value proposition through rigorous data-driven analysis

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Currently possess and be able to maintain an active country specific Secret security clearance
• 7 years of experience in Operations Research Systems Analysis (ORSA) systems engineering mission engineering test and evaluation or a related technical-operational discipline
• Experience with tactical experiments and wargaming design including scenario development data analytics and trade-space analysis
• Demonstrated experience in modeling and simulation for military missions with a preference for a background in friendly and adversary tactics
• Proficiency with C or Python for physics-based modeling and scripting
• Ability to connect system performance architecture and design choices to mission outcomes
• Ability to assess and solve problems and to effectively communicate results through strong verbal and written skills

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with DoD M&S tools (e.g. AFSIM Brawler Suppressor ESAMS Command PE)
• Ability to obtain and maintain a country specific Top Secret security clearance
• Bachelors or Masters degree in Operations Research Engineering Computer Science Data Science Physics Mathematics or a related technical field
• Operational military background with a subsequent transition into an ORSA M&S or Operations Analyst position
• Experience with AFSIM plug-in development or other advanced M&S framework customization
• Familiarity with model-based systems engineering digital engineering operational test or experimentation
• Experience developing KPPs KSAs MOEs MOPs requirements test objectives or system performance assessments
• Experience with defense systems autonomous systems maritime systems undersea systems sensors effectors communications navigation C2 or ISR mission systems
