Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to join the Manufacturing Team. This role focuses on developing simulation and optimization models to predict and improve manufacturing process behavior in support of Anduril's rapidly scaling 5M sq ft manufacturing facility, Arsenal-1.
You will own the design and optimization of production lines and workstation layouts for both low-rate and full-rate production using data-driven approaches. Key responsibilities include capturing current processes into 3D simulation-based virtual factory models, creating feasible production schedules and plans across shop floor, warehouse, and supply chain operations, and maintaining an adaptive digital reference model for the factory.
You will proactively identify high-variation processes, bottlenecks, and imbalances caused by line layout, equipment constraints, staffing, and other production inputs, then drive resolution across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality teams. You'll translate production metrics and KPIs—including cycle time, throughput, capacity utilization, and first-pass yield—into actionable improvements.
Additional responsibilities include producing and maintaining capacity plans, balanced line layouts, staffing allocations, and time standards for manufacturing work content. You'll collaborate end-to-end on operational improvements as defense products scale in maturity and production rate, working across both execution-based and strategic initiatives.
Required: 8+ years in fast-paced manufacturing environments; experience with discrete event simulation software (Plant Sim, ProModel, FlexSim, Simio) OR object-oriented programming (Python, R, C++, Java) OR SQL/NoSQL data work; ability to read technical documentation (facility/assembly drawings, specs, procedures); comfort working in ambiguity; eligibility for U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred: Bachelor's degree in engineering; experience designing/setting up new production lines or factories; Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or Six Sigma experience.
