Description
We are seeking an Industrial Engineer to join our Supply Chain team. As an Industrial Engineer, you will be responsible for optimising our supply chain's warehousing and material flow operations for best-in-class quality, reliability, speed, and asset utilisation. This will involve collaborating with other Anduril teams, including Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Business Operations.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Passionately working across multiple programmes from development to full rate production to scale best-in-class solutions to align with maturity of manufacturing process
- Proactively identifying imbalances and bottlenecks caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints; flagging constraints with the appropriate owners across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality and driving to resolution
- Owning the metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, such as cycle time, throughput rate, capacity, utilisation, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy
- Time studying current and developing processes to ensure efficiency across warehouse and operations
- Developing processes to optimise workplans for highly variable demands across multiple sites
- Translating tools and reports into actionable tasks that impact the health of warehouse operations across a plethora of processes and sites
- Producing and maintaining tools to increase accuracy of work demand for new facilities and maturing processes using a data-driven approach using tools such as Value Stream Mapping/Process Mapping/Line Balancing techniques
To be successful in this role, you will need:
- A Bachelor's degree in engineering
- 3+ years of experience in a high-rate supply chain or manufacturing environment, where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies are built with heavy data utilisation
- Ability to read technical documentation such as drawings and CAD data, understanding of a variety of hardware manufacturing processes for both electronics (PCBAs, sensor hardware, etc.) and structures, mechanical components, and electromechanical systems
- Ability to travel up to 25% of the time
- Ability to relocate, if not already local to be onsite in Costa Mesa, CA
Preferred qualifications include experience with using Siemens Plant Simulation, Visual Components, or Process Simulation software to model a production line and run production scenarios, experience with department or factory design and set up, value stream mapping, flow lines, continuous flow, one piece flow, workstation design, and prior experience with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production operations or Warehouse Management System (WMS).
