Operations Analyst, Mission Engineering, Air Dominance & Strike, Active Clearance

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Air Dominance & Strike : Mission Engineering : Operations Analysis

Operations Analyst role at Anduril, a defense technology company, focusing on mission engineering and providing data-driven analytical products to guide business strategy and investigate concepts of employment. The role involves using physics-based analyses and mission-level simulations to quantify the value of Anduril's technology, with a strong emphasis on modeling and scripting languages like Python and MATLAB, and experience in platform and payload MS&A. Requires an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Employ the scientific method to develop model-driven analysis (and often the models themselves)
  2. Develop a deep understanding of the transformational value of Anduril’s platform, autonomy, simulation, and perception products
  3. Use our advanced internal M&S capabilities to give our analyses and asymmetric advantage over competitors
  4. Use exceptional writing and verbal communication to translate complex analytical findings into clear and compelling summaries for both internal program teams and external customers
