ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company on a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities. By applying the technology and business model of today’s most innovative companies to defense, we are changing how military systems are designed, built, and sold—powered by Lattice OS, our AI-driven operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command-and-control center. Anduril’s Mission Systems division spans Electromagnetic Warfare, Imaging, and Battlespace Awareness, building hardware-enabled, software-defined sensors and systems that are sold, fielded, and sustained over long service lives.
ABOUT THE JOB
We are hiring a Strategic Finance Analyst to own the models that connect how our products are built, fielded, and sustained to how they are priced and how they show up in the long range plan. Reporting to the Mission Systems Division Finance Lead, you will build pricing and operations and sustainment (O&S) models across the division’s product portfolio, working directly with Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics, Mission Operations, Software, and Product teams to understand the context behind the data. The right person can take messy operational data, understand what is really driving it, and turn it into models leadership can make decisions on.
WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Build and own pricing models across Mission Systems product offerings, including hardware, software subscriptions, and sustainment, tying unit cost, margin targets, and contract structure to price.
• Build and maintain O&S models that translate field data such as MTBF, field return and repair rates, spares consumption, and repair turnaround into sustainment cost and price over a system’s service life.
• Model logistics and reverse logistics flows (spares positioning, returns, depot repair, refurbishment) and quantify their cost and inventory impact.
• Model mission operations and software sustainment costs, including field support, software updates, and engineering support, and how they scale as the fielded fleet grows.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to understand unit cost, yield, and learning curves, and how design and quality improvements flow into lifecycle cost.
• Bridge the long range plan and current product offerings, ensuring LRP assumptions for units, price, margin, and O&S reconcile to what we sell and support today.
• Run scenario and sensitivity analysis on volume, price, reliability, and sustainment approach to support pursuit, product, and investment decisions, including NPV/IRR business cases.
• Distill complex analysis into clear recommendations and executive-ready presentations for division leadership.
• Build reusable models, tools, and dashboards that scale across business lines and product families.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3-5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, strategic finance, FP&A, pricing, consulting, or another highly analytical role.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• Strong financial modeling skills, with the ability to build dynamic models from a blank sheet and run scenario, sensitivity, and NPV/IRR analysis.
• Ability to work alongside engineers and operators to understand the context behind the data and turn ambiguous questions into structured analysis.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to make complex analysis accessible to senior leaders.
• Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to apply for and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Investment banking or private equity experience, with exposure to valuation, transaction, or operating models.
• Experience building lifecycle cost, O&S, warranty, or aftermarket service models.
• Experience pricing combined hardware and software or subscription offerings.
• Defense, aerospace, or complex hardware industry experience, including familiarity with fixed-price and cost-type contract structures.
• Proficiency with SQL, Python, or BI tools, and familiarity with Oracle ERP and Oracle EPM.
