Senior Industrial Engineer, Layouts

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Manufacturing Design Team is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to own and scale our central manufacturing layout capability and system.

Responsibilities:

• Own Anduril's enterprise manufacturing layout capability as a long-lived, foundational asset , architecting it for maintainability, extensibility, and organizational adoption rather than single-use drawings.
• Design production line and workstation layouts for both low-rate and full-rate production using a data-driven approach, incorporating cell design, flow configuration, material staging, operator movement, and ergonomic considerations rooted in IE tradition.
• Establish and maintain a centralized layout repository , the single source of truth for all production layouts across sites , that integrates with Facilities, Real Estate, and infrastructure planning.
• Build and curate a centralized CAD shape library of standard manufacturing elements.
• Define the enterprise standards for layout creation: file formats, naming conventions, layer structures, revision control, approval workflows, and the entrenched business processes.
• Deploy those standards across the organization , selecting and implementing the tools, software, and mechanisms needed.
• Support facility-level layout planning for new buildings, expansions, and site reconfigurations.
• Proactively identify spatial bottlenecks, material flow inefficiencies, and layout constraints.
• Produce and maintain space utilization analyses, density metrics, and capacity-driven layout alternatives.
• Translate layout decisions into clear visual deliverables.
• Drive the migration from scattered, inconsistent layout files to a governed, centralized platform.
• Collaborate end-to-end across Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Facilities.
• Mentor BL or Bench engineers on layout best practices.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Architecture, or a related field.
• Experience with overall facility design beyond the production floor.
• Experience standing up a centralized layout management capability from scratch.
• Prior work designing and commissioning new production lines or factories from greenfield.
• Experience in high-mix, complex manufacturing, production ramp, or multi-site environments.
• Experience with 3D factory visualization and walkthrough tools.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing layout principles.
• Experience integrating layout data with enterprise systems.
• Proficiency in space utilization analytics.
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing and/or Continuous Improvement and Six Sigma principles.
• Prior experience mentoring engineers or setting technical standards for a team.
• Active security clearance, or ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
