Anduril
Senior Mission Operations Analysis Engineer, Space
Anduril, Costa Mesa, California, United States, 92626
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Senior Mission Operations Analysis Engineer, you will own the understanding and design of the mission solution which includes designing mission trajectories, building models to help craft mission solutions, and developing simulations to solve key mission needs. You will carefully listen to stakeholder needs and then design rigorous math and physics analyses leading to clear and compelling value propositions. You will work closely with related teams, including Systems Engineering, GNC, Propulsion, Communications, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and others. You will lead physics-level modeling, mission design, constellation design, simulation and analysis for a wide variety of space missions. This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Space Business Line. The programs require building and fielding a resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads. We work with mission partners and customers to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Develop model-driven analysis (and often the models themselves) Develop a deep understanding of transformational value of Anduril platform, autonomy, simulation, and perception products Use our advanced internal M&S capabilities to give our analyses an asymmetric advantage over competitors Convey the value through life of AI-powered distributed systems over traditional industrial offerings Provide rigorous analytical products which will be used to guide hardware engineering and convince stakeholders of our value advantage
