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 JOB
We are looking for a Mission Analyst to serve as Anduril’s tactical-level interface with the military operators and planners who will employ our autonomous maritime systems. This is the person the customer works with day-to-day — embedded in their environment, speaking their language, and ensuring our capability is employed effectively.
This is not a desk job. You’ll be working alongside the customer, deployed on exercises, delivering training, supporting mission planning, and feeding operational reality back into engineering. You’ll help shape how the capability is used, how operators are trained, and how lessons from the field make it back to the people building the system.
This position is available in Sydney, Australia. While based in Sydney, this role requires regular travel to customer sites, exercises, and operations.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Support development of mission plans for exercises, demonstrations, operational test and evaluation, and operational employment
• Provide tactical advice to customer planners on system capabilities, limitations, and employment options
• Develop and maintain tactical procedures, checklists, planning aids, and quick-reference materials
• Contribute to the development and refinement of Concepts of Employment (CONEMP) and Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs)
• Support the training organisation in the delivery of operator training, including preparation of training materials and subject matter support during course delivery
• Provide operational mentoring and tactical coaching to operators during exercises and employment activities
• Plan and execute Anduril’s operational contribution to exercises and demonstrations
• Capture user feedback on system performance, usability, and employment concepts and translate it into actionable input for engineering and product teams
• Identify gaps in procedures, training, or system capability from the operator’s perspective and advocate for the user within Anduril
• Ensure operating procedures and training content reflect current employment concepts and real-world operational patterns
• Build and maintain trusted peer-level relationships with customer operators and planners through persistent presence and demonstrated competence
• Support post-exercise debriefs and lessons learned capture, feeding outcomes back into CONEMP, TTPs, and training content
• Contribute operational input to program reporting and customer performance reviews
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Experience in operational planning, mission analysis, capability development, or a related field such as
defence, aviation, mining, or complex logistics
• Demonstrated ability to work at the tactical level — translating system capabilities into practical
employment options
• Experience delivering training, instruction, or coaching in a Defence or technical context
• Strong interpersonal skills — able to build trust with military operators and planners as a credible peer
• Comfortable working autonomously in a customer environment with minimal direction
• Ability to translate complex system capabilities into clear operational language that users can act on
• Strong written communication — able to produce tactical procedures, planning aids, and operational
reports
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a Negative Vetting Level 2 (NV2) security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Military background with operational experience in a maritime environment (submarine, surface warfare,
mine countermeasures, or equivalent)
• Experience with autonomous systems, unmanned platforms, or emerging military technology
• Experience in a Defence industry customer-facing role
• Knowledge of undersea warfare and maritime warfare concepts
• Understanding of Defence acquisition processes
• Experience contributing to Concept of Operations (CONOPS), CONEMP, or TTP development
• Experience with operational test and evaluation, exercise planning, or wargaming
