Modeling & Simulation Software Engineer

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 TEAM
We are looking for Mid and Senior-level Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineers to join our team. As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to develop cutting-edge simulation tools used by our engineering teams to model how our vehicles and systems perform in complex mission scenarios.

ABOUT THE JOB
The ideal candidate has experience working on aerospace systems and understands the right fidelity of system level modeling required to model large scale, many-on-many missions. 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 air vehicles and payloads, this is the role for you!

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Work on challenging problems in a fast-paced environment across our portfolio of programs and products.
• Develop our Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A) framework to support mission-level concept exploration, tactics development, autonomous behaviors, and Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) product development.
• Develop simulation models for sensors, comms, movement, tactical behaviors, weapon effects, electronic effects, command and control, and others.
• Partner with Operations Analysis team members to deliver simulations capabilities that enable efficient Monte Carlo and Design of Experiments analysis.
• Partner with capability teams like Mission Autonomy to deliver simulation capabilities to help accelerate development.
• Work with multi-disciplinary subject matter experts to understand and adequately model pertinent sub-system, system and system of system dynamics.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Senior Modeling Simulation Engineer: 8 or more years of experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience.
• Modeling Simulation Engineer: 3 or more years of experience in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis engineering or related technical experience.
• Proficient with C++.
• Working experience with Python.
• Experience with aerospace/aeronautical systems (including fixed wing, rockets, satellites, rotorcraft, etc.) and/or subsea vehicles.
• Experience in flight dynamics/platform physics and control.
• Experience with high performance and multi-threaded programming.
• Demonstrated curiosity and ability to learn outside of core discipline.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Advanced proficiency with C++.
• Experience with Python.
• Experience with developing sub-system and system level models (air vehicles, ground vehicles, ground-based sensors and other types of complex systems).
• Experience working with/developing multi-system mission level simulations in one or more domains (subsurface, surface, ground, air, and space).
• Experience in military simulation fields delivering configurable scenario-based environments for operations analysis and wargaming (e.g., AFSIM, NGTS, etc.).
• Startup experience.

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
