Responsibilities
As a Senior Modeling and Simulation Engineer, you will design mission trajectories, build models to help craft mission solutions, and develop simulations to solve key mission needs.
Our team is responsible for helping government customers make informed acquisition decisions in the Space domain.
As such, general space knowledge, space domain awareness (optics, radar, space-based), satellite payload, orbital dynamics, or prior physics-level MS&A experience are preferred.
You will model architectures, develop and deploy algorithms, evaluate performance, and help shape future system concepts for the U.S.
Department of Defense customers.
This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Space Business Line.
