Warfighting Systems Analyst, Maritime

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. 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 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 Warfighting Systems Analyst to join our rapidly growing team. The Warfighting Systems Analyst supports the design, evaluation, and optimization of defense systems by focusing on how systems should be designed, configured, integrated, and employed to deliver warfighting advantage. The analyst works at the intersection of mission engineering, systems analysis, operations research, product development, and technical trade-space evaluation. They translate operational problems into system-level questions, leverage high-end models and simulations to assess technical and architectural alternatives, and provide decision-quality analysis that helps engineering, product, and business leaders make informed choices. Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) will often complement demonstration events that together leave no doubt that Anduril offers real warfighter capability. This role is ideal for individuals who can reason across military operations and technical systems, evaluate performance tradeoffs, and communicate how system design decisions affect operational utility. WHAT YOU'LL DO Analyze system performance, architecture, integration options, and design trades in the context of operational mission needs Translate warfighting requirements and operational constraints into system-level parameters, performance thresholds, and analytic frameworks Leverage high-end models and simulations, including Anduril's Lattice Mission Simulation and the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM), to conduct studies Support engineering and product teams by evaluating how platform, payload, autonomy, sensor, effector, communications, navigation, or C2 choices affect mission outcomes Conduct trade studies comparing alternative system configurations, architectures, payloads, deployment concepts, and operational employment models 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 Develop measures of performance, key performance parameters, key system attributes, and operationally meaningful technical metrics Assess system-of-systems interactions, integration risks, dependencies, constraints, and mission impacts Partner with warfighting capability analysts to ensure system analysis remains grounded in real operational problems and customer needs Collaborate with engineering and business development teams to demonstrate Anduril's capabilities and value proposition through rigorous, data-driven analysis REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 8+ years of experience in Operations Research, Systems Analysis (ORSA), systems engineering, mission engineering, test and evaluation, or a related
