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

The goal of Anduril’s Air Dominance and Strike Division is to fundamentally reshape the way future peer to peer conflicts are fought by developing next generation Collaborative Combat Aircraft (Fury), missiles such as RoadRunner and Barracuda, and the Mission Autonomy software that is the brain of these products.

  • Develop our test data infrastructure in collaboration with our Flight Test and Engineering teams to ensure our products get in the hands of engineers across a variety of system configurations and deployed environments
  • Partner with our Field Operations teams to architect and build a fleet management system that monitors the operational performance and reliability of our aircraft in the field, enabling us to achieve maximal uptime of our products
  • Collaborate with the production team to design and implement tools and metrics that allow us to scale production of our products from 1s to 1000s and enable rapid introduction of new products into the manufacturing line

What you’ll do

  • Embed with various engineers to understand their workflows and locate their critical problems and bottlenecks
  • Identify, structure and leverage various data systems that enables us to build tailored data-driven solutions
  • Develop operational apps in a scrappy but effective way, work closely with users to iterate and support outcomes

  • Work closely with Anduril’s corporate Analytics team to expand our ontologies and generalize our data and workflow applications across the entire company

Who you are

  • You’re deeply intellectually interested in the intersection of analytics and the real, physical, atoms-based, hardware world and are motivated by Anduril’s mission
  • You’re energized by business impact & a self-starter: you’d rather build an imperfect solution quickly that is used by many people than a perfect solution that collects dust

  • Data system exposure: dbt, Redshift, Looker/Tableau, Palantir Foundry
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
