Technical Project Manager - Sim Center Team Lead in London

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.

At Anduril, we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface, surface, land, and air domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of multi-mission capability to our customers. In addition to the physical systems being produced, Anduril is providing training and experimentation services to our partners and customers. These projects require Warfighting Systems Analysts who can connect operational needs to system architecture, technical performance, integration choices, and mission-level outcomes.

The Warfighter Simulation Team Lead is a project manager responsible for producing, iterating, and supporting Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (M&SA) including wargaming and experimentation for Anduril products. This has a three-fold purpose: Train the customer in Anduril capabilities, conduct internal analysis to support the iterative improvement of current and future products, and learn the specific customers’ needs to ensure we produce the right product for the right reasons. As the team leader, you will need to serve as the fusion between analysts, wargamers, system administrators and engineers, and warfighters. You will be responsible for game design, systems, warfighter interactions, and an Agile team of wargaming analysts.

This role is ideal for individuals who can reason across military operations and technical systems, lead an interdisciplinary team, and communicate to key stakeholders while keeping the wargaming project on time and budget.
