ABOUT THE JOB
We are looking for a Mission Analyst to serve as Andurils 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. Youll be working alongside the customer, deployed on exercises, delivering training, supporting mission planning, and feeding operational reality back into engineering. Youll 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 role requires regular travel to customer sites, exercises, and operations across Australia.

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 Andurils 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 operators 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
