Key Responsibilities

• Interface with stakeholders, including internal programs and external customers.
• Develop artifacts based on stakeholder needs and collaborate with functional areas to ensure completeness and accuracy. Model artifacts may be contractual deliverables requiring demonstration.
• Contribute to proving Anduril's Systems Engineering and Mission Systems Integration capabilities.
• Participate in the development of the Digital and Systems Engineering Strategy and Implementation.
• Gain a deep understanding of Anduril platforms, autonomy, simulation, and perception products through the creation and maintenance of systems engineering artifacts.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, computer science, or similar engineering or technical field.
• 2+ years Systems Engineering Experience across the life cycle.
• Understanding of aerodynamics and propulsion principles as applied to missile systems.
• Familiarity with guidance, navigation, and control systems for precision-guided munitions.
• Basic knowledge of reliability engineering concepts and practices.
• Experience with systems testing and evaluation methodologies.
• Understanding of threat analysis and its role in weapon system design.
• Exposure to weapon systems integration processes and challenges.
• Experience with Systems Engineering, Requirements Elicitation and Management, Integration, and Test Activities on complex systems (e.g., DoD Weapon Systems, Space Systems).
• Experience with SysML, DoDAF, UAFP, or similar modeling languages.
• Experience developing model-based system engineering artifacts (e.g., Operational Viewpoints, System Viewpoints, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, BDDs, IBDs, parametric diagrams).
• Experience with Cameo MagicDraw or similar systems engineering software (e.g., Rhapsody, SparxEA).
• Experience with Digital Engineering workflows and Integrated Modeling Environments (e.g., Teamwork Cloud).
• Outstanding communication skills, including presentation of developed artifacts.
• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or propulsion system modeling.
• Familiarity with control system design and implementation for guided weapons.
• Knowledge of reliability prediction techniques and failure mode analysis.
• Experience with test planning, execution, and data analysis for complex systems.
• Mission Modeling experience (e.g., working knowledge of OCA/DCA, ISR, SEAD/DEAD, Electronic Attack, or Integrated Fire Control missions).
• Experience with the Cameo Simulation Toolkit plugin for Cameo MagicDraw.
• Proficiency with Mathworks products (MATLAB, SIMULINK etc.).
• INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) Certification.

Compensation & Benefits
