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.

Experience with HITL operations, including real-time simulation, avionics integration, and closed-loop testing with physical hardware is highly valued. If you have a passion for flight and want to play a core role in enabling the Anduril AD&S organization to continue scaling by orders of magnitude, this is the right role for you
