Senior Material Flow Engineer, General

At Anduril, our Industrial Engineers in Supply Chain Material Flow are the architects of operational scalability, taking cutting-edge defense hardware,and transforming them into mature, high-rate production realities across our manufacturing footprint.

You will step into a fast-paced environment, taking holistic ownership to optimize warehousing, internal logistics, and material flow operations for best-in-class quality, throughput speed, and asset utilization.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize scalable warehousing, line-side material delivery, kitting workflows, and inventory movement across multiple programs from initial development to full-rate production.
• Proactively identify and eliminate imbalances caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, and operational constraints by partnering cross-functionally across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Operations.
• Own the data systems, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, including cycle times, throughput rate, capacity utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy.
• Perform rigorous time studies, value stream mapping, process mapping, and line balancing to optimize dynamic workplans and work demand for new and maturing facilities.
• Utilize discrete event simulation and layout modeling tools to test operational scenarios, stress-test warehouse capacities, and deliver actionable data to de-risk production scale-up.
• Champion continuous floor-level improvements to rapidly deploy iterative, high-impact solutions without requiring massive capital expenditures.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with progressive experience in a high-rate supply chain or manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read technical drawings and CAD data, with a solid understanding of manufacturing processes for complex structural, mechanical, electromechanical, or electronics assemblies.
• Demonstrated technical strength across core industrial engineering domains:
• Practical expertise in warehouse design, workstation design, value stream mapping, material replenishment strategies, and spatial planning.
• Hands-on experience interacting with SQL databases, building custom queries, and working with Manufacturing Execution Systems, Warehouse Management Systems, or Enterprise Resource Planning platforms.
• Exposure to or proficiency with discrete event simulation software or stochastic line modeling techniques.
• Demonstrated track record of taking end-to-end ownership of complex operational challenges, delivering sustainable business improvements, and presenting data-driven recommendations to cross-functional teams.
• Willingness to be onsite in Costa Mesa, CA, with the ability to travel up to 25% of the time across production sites.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
