The opportunity

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…

What you'll do

  • Lead Operational Data Collection & Field Research: Design and execute structured qualitative and quantitative field research protocols to capture operator experiences, cognitive load, trust dynamics, and human-machine teaming performance during live exercises, operational deployments, and training evolutions.

  • Frontline Operational & Training Insights: Embed alongside customer units and Anduril field teams globally to capture ground-truth operational feedback, identifying friction points in doctrine, system utilization, and training delivery.

  • Inform Training & Product Architecture: Translate operational data into actionable requirements for training curriculum developers, UX/UI designers, and software/hardware product managers to iteratively refine Lattice OS and hardware interfaces.

  • Publish White Papers & Thought Leadership: Synthesize empirical operational findings into rigorous internal analyses and public-facing white papers, driving military doctrine development, CONOPs modernization, and industry dialogue regarding autonomy in contested environments.

  • Lead Internal Communications for Global Train & Advise: Own and streamline operational knowledge transfer across the global Train & Advise footprint. Author executive summaries, field intelligence digests, and operational post-mission reviews to ensure distributed teams and executive stakeholders maintain real-time visibility into operator trends.

  • Bridge Operational Rigor and Academic Defense Science: (SOF/Academic: Aligned) Develop operational frameworks that translate intuitive warfighter behaviors into empirically measurable data points, validating new CONOPs for autonomous swarms, collaborative combat systems, and distributed C2.

What they're looking for

  • Prior experience evaluating or designing curriculum for un-crewed platforms: (sUAS, C-UAS, UUVs, or counter-autonomous systems).
  • Familiarity with human-in-the-loop (HITL), human-on-the-loop (HOTL), and autonomous C2 software architectures.
  • Experience running experiments or operational assessments alongside military: test organizations (e.g., USSOCOM S&T, Service Warfighting Labs, operational test squadrons).
