Senior 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 process and operational knowledge base.
• Create feasible results, plans and schedules for shop floor, warehouse, factory & supply chain execution in all the relevant time ranges by ensuring that all scheduled operations are resource capacity, material, and timeline feasible.
• Maintain an adaptive, data generated and driven virtual factory to always retain a “current status” digital reference model for determining future performance of the factory/supply chain whenever required for different transformation projects and investment decisions.
• 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; flag constraints with the appropriate owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality and drive to resolution.
• Translate and drive action from metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, such as cycle time, throughput rate, capacity, utilization, and first pass yield.
• 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 we scale in maturity and production rate.
• Work across domains, from execution-based work to the strategic future state of a product or business line.

Requirements:

• 8+ years past experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Experience with Technomatix “Plant Sim” simulation software or equivalent DES (Promodel, FlexSim, Simio, etc,) OR basic knowledge in object-oriented computer programming (example languages: Python, R, C++, Java, etc.) OR working with large data sets with SQL or No-SQL.
• Ability to read technical documentation such as facility drawings, assembly drawings, technical specifications and procedures for manufacturing processes for electronics, mechanical and electromechanical assembly, system tests, and/or structures work.
• 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 - from process mapping through to collaborating with infrastructure design partners and detailed work station design.
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing and/or Continuous Improvement and Six Sigma principles in action.
• Experience interacting with data via data visualization applications or SQL queries.
• Ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish, measuring each step of the process, creating actionable tasks that culminated in a significant and sustainable business improvement.
• Prior experience with ERP, WMS and MES systems.
• Knowledge stochastic \ deterministic models when to apply them.
• Proficient in handling large data sets, including filtering, identifying trends, and graphical representation.
• Candidate should have knowledge of design engineering and manufacturing engineering processes including: 3D CAD design/modeling of parts and assemblies, 3D factory layout, Manufacturing process planning of fabricated parts, and complex discrete assembly process, Manufacturing simulation of assembly processes, human ergonomics, and discrete event simulation.
• Strong manufacturing data analytics and statistical analysis background with proficiency in statistical process control.

Benefits: Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive and competitive benefits packages.

Salary Range: $146,000-$194,000 USD
