Industrial Engineer

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

The Manufacturing Team at Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to join their team.

The role will support the development of simulation and optimization models to predict the behavior of manufacturing processes to drive real-world adaptations.

Responsibilities:

• Capture the current process including all physical constraints, business rules, and detailed decision logic into a 3D simulation-based virtual factory to serve as a process and operational knowledge base.
• Create feasible results, plans, and schedules for shop floor, warehouse, factory, and supply chain execution in all relevant time ranges.
• Maintain an adaptive, data-generated, and driven virtual factory to always retain a 'current status' digital reference model.
• Own the design of new production lines and work station layouts, both for low-rate and full-rate production, leveraging a data-driven approach.
• Proactively identify high-variation processes, imbalances, and bottlenecks caused by line layout, equipment constraints, staffing shortages, and other production inputs.
• Translate and drive action from metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency.
• Produce and maintain capacity plans, balanced line layouts, staffing allocations, and time standards for manufacturing work content.
• Collaborate and drive operational improvements end-to-end for next-generation defense products as the company scales in maturity and production rate.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Experience with Technomatix 'Plant Sim' simulation software or equivalent DES.
• Ability to read technical documentation such as facility drawings, assembly drawings, technical specifications, and procedures for manufacturing processes.
• Ability to work in ambiguity.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering.
• Prior work designing and/or setting up new production lines or factories.
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing and/or Continuous Improvement and Six Sigma principles.
• Experience interacting with data via data visualization applications or SQL queries.
• Ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish.
• Prior experience with ERP, WMS, and MES systems.
• Knowledge of stochastic and deterministic models.
• Proficient in handling large data sets.

Benefits:

• Highly competitive equity grants.
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive and competitive benefits packages.
