About the role

As a Senior Industrial Engineer at Anduril, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of military systems. Your responsibilities include:

• Capture the current process including all physical constraints, business rules, and detailed decision logic into a 3D simulation-based virtual factory.
• Create feasible results, plans, and schedules for shop floor, warehouse, factory, and supply chain execution in all relevant time ranges, ensuring all scheduled operations are resource-capacity, material, and timeline feasible.
• Maintain an adaptive, data-driven virtual factory to always retain a “current status” digital reference model for determining future performance of the factory/supply chain.
• 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.
