Anduril Industries, Inc., Costa Mesa, California, United States, 92626
Senior Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Engineer, Air Dominance & Strike
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 real‑time, 3‑D 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 TEAM Anduril’s Flight Engineering department is part of the Air Dominance and Strike organization; we are seeking Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MSA) Engineers to join our team. The Anduril Flight Engineering team is integral to development of flight system solutions in all domains for our warfighters. As a critical member of our team, the role of an MSA Engineer is pivotal in driving the design, development, testing, and implementation of cutting‑edge flight system technologies for our aerospace systems. Anduril fosters a dynamic learning culture, characterized by accelerated knowledge acquisition through modeling, simulation, analysis, and rigorous and frequent ground and flight test experimentation. At Anduril, you will be involved in flight testing the systems you develop.
ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Engineer to join our team. In this role you will develop, implement and maintain sufficient‑fidelity virtual representations of the myriad of vehicles that Anduril works on. You will develop and coordinate deployment and maintenance of vehicle models and simulation instantiations for various ongoing programs at Anduril.
The ideal candidate has experience working on aerospace systems and understands the right fidelity of sub‑system and system‑level modeling required to integrate with the broader flight control and mission autonomy software to support development. The role requires the individual to be proficient in vehicle/sub‑system modeling and well‑versed in coding practices and software integration practices. If you have a passion for flight and like the idea of building a physics‑based digital representation of a flying vehicle this is the role for you!
Anduril Products
Anduril has been selected as one of two vendors to move forward on the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program for the Air Force’s flagship autonomous aircraft program. During the next phase, Anduril will design, manufacture, and test production‑representative CCAs. We are honored to be part of the program as a non‑traditional defense company and are seeking highly motivated candidates to join us in the rapid development of a new, revolutionary aircraft.
