About This Role

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 sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Lattice Showcase team at Anduril delivers immersive experiences that tell cohesive, compelling stories about how Anduril products accomplish critical missions. Leveraging Sand Table—our internal 3D visualization platform that transforms data into interactive augmented reality environments—we translate complex demonstrations into streamlined, interactive showcases for government and military leaders. We work across multiple product lines—integrating capabilities from autonomy, hardware, and software—to craft narratives that align all stakeholders around mission outcomes. Our work bridges engineering simulation and compelling storytelling: we take real-world demos running in simulation and transform them into polished, interactive experiences that showcase how our technology delivers mission success. As a cross-functional team of designers, operators, and integrators, we combine technical depth with narrative craft to demonstrate the full potential of Anduril's capabilities.
