About the role

Senior Industrial Engineer responsible for owning and scaling Anduril's centralized manufacturing layout capability across multiple sites and product lines, with governance, standards, and integration into enterprise systems to optimize space, material flow, and production efficiency.

Responsibilities

  • Own Anduril's enterprise manufacturing layout capability as a long-lived, foundational asset — architecting it for maintainability, extensibility, and organizational adoption rather than single-use drawings. Work closely with IT and Tech Teams to integrate into existing business systems.
  • Design production line and workstation layouts for both low-rate and full-rate production using a data-driven approach, incorporating cell design, flow configuration, material staging, operator movement, and ergonomic considerations rooted in IE tradition.
  • Establish and maintain a centralized layout repository — the single source of truth for all production layouts across sites — that integrates with Facilities, Real Estate, and infrastructure planning so building shell decisions and production floor decisions are made from the same spatial model.
  • Build and curate a centralized CAD shape library of standard manufacturing elements (workbenches, tables, cabinets, tool storage, chairs, racks, conveyors, carts, etc.) so that every layout across the organization uses consistent, dimensionally accurate components.
  • Define the enterprise standards for layout creation: file formats, naming conventions, layer structures, revision control, approval workflows, and incorporating business processes for consistency across sites.
  • Deploy standards across the organization — selecting and implementing tools, software, training, and governance to maintain a healthy system as the organization scales.
  • Support facility-level layout planning for new buildings, expansions, and site reconfigurations — integrating floor plans with shell design, utility routing, dock placement, aisle widths, column spacing, and overhead clearance.
  • Proactively identify spatial bottlenecks, material flow inefficiencies, and layout constraints; drive to resolution with appropriate owners.
  • Produce and maintain space utilization analyses, density metrics, and capacity-driven layout alternatives tied to production targets and forecasts.
  • Translate layout decisions into visual deliverables (2D plans, 3D renderings, block diagrams, material flow maps) for review and approval by stakeholders.
  • Drive migration from scattered layout files to a governed, centralized platform and reduce time to stand up or refresh layouts.
  • Collaborate with Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Facilities to ensure layouts reflect current designs, safety standards, and growth plans.
  • Mentor engineers on layout best practices and raise the bar for spatial planning discipline; justify team growth if needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Architecture, or related field.
  • Experience with overall facility design beyond the production floor (building shell, infrastructure integration, dock/staging design, utility routing, column grid optimization) and interface with manufacturing layouts and physical plant.
  • Experience standing up a centralized layout management capability from scratch (repository architecture, CAD standards, shape libraries, governance, adoption).
  • Prior work designing and commissioning new production lines or factories from greenfield—process mapping and collaboration with architectural/infrastructure partners to detailed workstation design.
  • Experience in high-mix, complex manufacturing, production ramp, or multi-site environments with frequent layout changes.
  • Experience with 3D factory visualization and walkthrough tools for stakeholder reviews.
  • Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing layout principles (cellular manufacturing, U-cells, one-piece flow, point-of-use storage, visual management, 5S).
  • Experience integrating layout data with ERP, MES, CMMS, or facility management platforms.
  • Proficiency in space utilization analytics, spaghetti diagrams, and density metrics to quantify layout performance.
  • Experience with Lean and/or Continuous Improvement and Six Sigma principles in action.
  • Past experience mentoring engineers or setting technical standards for a team.
  • Active security clearance, or ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
