Industrial Space Planner

About the role

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company focused on transforming military capabilities through advanced technology. The Space Planning team is dedicated to optimizing layouts and designs for R&D facilities, ensuring efficient workflows, and adhering to safety and regulatory standards.

We are seeking an Industrial Space Planner to join the team. The role bridges the gap between engineering requirements and physical facility solutions, focusing on manufacturing and highly dynamic R&D/prototyping environments. You will partner directly with Division Leads to understand and forecast their space needs, and collaborate closely with Industrial Engineers (IEs) to design and validate optimized layouts.

Responsibilities

• Partner with key stakeholders to capture and forecast team space demands, and collaborate with IEs on proposed space layouts.
• Evaluate incoming space requests and prioritize high-impact needs; critically challenge and validate requests against utilization metrics rather than simply executing them.
• Create facility master plans, block plans, and equipment layouts/test fits for warehouse, lab, and production spaces using AutoCAD and other planning tools.
• Build capacity models, evaluate production/laboratory constraints, and develop future-state growth scenarios to support manufacturing ramp and R&D pipeline growth.
• Partner with Facilities to assess, plan, and validate infrastructure requirements including power loads, HVAC, compressed air, process exhaust, networking, and EHS clearances.
• Analyze production/R&D workflows, material flow, lean principles, and physical adjacencies to optimize layout designs and eliminate operational bottlenecks.
• Maintain accurate spatial data and coordinate space planning decisions across Southern California facilities. Collaborate with the Moves, Adds, and Change (MAC) team for seamless implementation, relocation strategies, and change tracking.

Requirements

• Previous experience in industrial, manufacturing, supply chain, or production environment.
• Proficiency in CAD software, ArcGIS, Archibus, Power BI, JIRA, and similar space planning software.
• Experience with lean, six sigma, and other related production principles.
• Strong understanding of spatial layout principles, workflow optimization, and infrastructure coordination.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Able to manage multiple requests and prioritize effectively under pressure.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Prior to joining Anduril

• Previous experience with factory planning, lab/facility master planning, or R&D system design.
• Experience supporting aerospace, defense, high-tech manufacturing, robotics, or advanced hardware R&D environments.
• Deep familiarity with utility planning, EHS requirements, and equipment installation/rigging processes.
