About the team

The Air Dominance and Strike Division is Anduril’s largest division and is fundamentally reshaping the way future peer to peer conflicts are fought by developing next generation collaborative combat aircraft, advanced effects, and the autonomy software that powers these weapons. The AD&S Operations team is a small but mighty team of business generalists that enables the division to scale through hyper-growth while breaking as few things as possible.

About the job

The Ops team is looking for our first Analytics hire to stand up our data capability so that we can better understand how our division functions and ultimately create the digital twin of our business and product operations.

  • Develop our test data infrastructure in collaboration with our Flight Test and Engineering teams to get off of our products and into the hands of engineers as rapidly as possible across a variety of system configurations and deployed environments
  • Collaborate with our Production teams to build workflows, tools, and metrics that allow us to scale the production of our products from 1s to 1000s and enables rapid introduction of new products (NPI) into the manufacturing line
  • Partner with our Engineering and Field Operations teams to architect and build a fleet management system that monitors the operational performance and reliability of our aircraft in the field, enabling us to achieve maximal uptime of our products
  • Become a trusted partner to AD&S’s leadership by creating reusable entities that generalize how our division operates and building business workflows, dashboards, and metrics that drive better and faster decision-making
  • Collaborate with Anduril’s corporate Analytics team to expand our ontologies and generalize data and workflow products across the entire company
