As a Senior Modeling and Simulation Analyst, Air Dominance & Strike, Active Clearance, you will join the Mission Engineering Operations team to provide data-driven analytical products that guide business strategy and inform requirements. You will apply the scientific method to develop model-driven analyses and physics-based simulations to investigate concepts of employment for defense technologies. Your daily work involves translating complex technical findings into compelling reports for internal teams and external customers, often accompanying demonstration events to quantify mission success. The role requires proficiency in Python, MATLAB, and Simulink, with specific experience in platform modeling—including aero, fuel, and signature—and payload modeling for radar, communications, or weapons. You will address critical domain challenges such as Offensive/Defensive Counter-Air, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, and Long Range Fires while utilizing advanced internal capabilities to provide a competitive advantage.

What you'll do

  • Develop model-driven analyses and create the underlying models using the scientific method.
  • Translate stakeholder questions into physics-based analyses and design experiments using mission-level simulations.
  • Utilize internal modeling and simulation capabilities to provide a competitive advantage over competitors.
  • Quantify how Anduril technology delivers mission success during demonstration events.
  • Write clear, compelling summaries of complex analytical findings for internal teams and external customers.
  • Perform technical analysis on platform systems including aerodynamics, fuel, signature, radar, and communications.
  • Execute full Operations Analysis studies from initial problem definition through to final report generation.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in a relevant Science or Engineering field (or equivalent advanced academic experience like an MS or PhD).
  • Must possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret security clearance (preferred).
  • Proficiency in modeling and scripting languages such as Python, MATLAB, and Simulink.
  • 2+ years of hands-on AFSIM scripting experience (preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience in Platform MS&A (aero, fuel, signature) and Payload MS&A (radar, EOIR, communications, or weapons).
  • Working knowledge of domains such as OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, or Long Range Fires.
  • Exceptional communication skills to translate complex technical findings into clear written and spoken reports for diverse audiences.
