Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MSA) Engineer - HITL Focus

About this role

Anduril Industries seeks an MSA Engineer to design and operate Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) simulation environments for autonomous aerial vehicles. You'll develop high-fidelity vehicle models, manage real-time simulation infrastructure, and support flight control and autonomy software testing with physical avionics hardware before live flights.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain HITL simulation infrastructure including real-time vehicle models and avionics emulation
• Own end-to-end configuration and operation of SITL/HITL environments for test vehicles
• Coordinate HITL test campaigns with flight test teams to validate algorithms before live flights
• Develop emulated interfaces for onboard avionics systems to enable closed-loop hardware testing
• Troubleshoot real-time simulation issues including timing, hardware interfaces, and model fidelity
• Support pre-flight validation and post-flight data analysis to improve model accuracy

What they're looking for

• Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) simulation and real-time systems
• Aerospace systems modeling and simulation
• Flight control and guidance, navigation, control (GNC) software
• Avionics integration and emulation
• Software coding and integration practices
• Monte-Carlo simulation and analysis
• Closed-loop testing with physical hardware
• Data analysis and visualization tools
