About Anduril

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 fielded. Anduril’s products are software-first, autonomous, and powered by Lattice OS—an intelligent software platform that turns thousands of disparate sensors and systems into a unified operational picture.

The Role

The Senior Advisor, Human-Machine Teaming sits at the critical intersection of frontline operations, engineering, and military science. As autonomous systems, distributed sensor networks, and intelligent weapons are fielded across contested domains, understanding how warfighters interact with, trust, and employ autonomous systems under stress is vital to mission success.

In this role, you will lead the applied research through systematic collection and operational analysis of user-operator feedback across global test events, training pipelines, and forward-deployed environments. You will bridge the gap between frontline operational reality (drawing from modern operational doctrines and special operations tactics) and cutting-edge academic inquiry into Human-Machine Teaming (HMT). Your contributions will consist of validated research findings, actionable recommendations, and demonstrated improvements in operator or system performance. Those insights will directly steer Anduril’s training design, accelerate product iteration cycles, and establish Anduril as a thought leader in the employment of autonomous systems in modern conflict.
