About the role

Industrial Engineer focused on supply chain material flow, warehousing, and production logistics for high-rate defense hardware at Anduril Industries.

Responsibilities

  • Scale Material Flow & Logistics Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize scalable warehousing, line-side material delivery, kitting workflows, and inventory movement across multiple programs from initial development to full-rate production.
  • Identify Bottlenecks & Drive Resolution: Proactively identify and eliminate imbalances caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, and operational constraints by partnering cross-functionally across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Operations.
  • Govern Production Metrics & Operational KPIs: Own the data systems, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, including cycle times, throughput rate, capacity utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy.
  • Execute Time Studies & Line Balancing: Perform rigorous time studies, value stream mapping (VSM), process mapping, and line balancing to optimize dynamic workplans and work demand for new and maturing facilities.
  • Model Production & Material Flow Scenarios: Utilize discrete event simulation and layout modeling tools to test operational scenarios, stress-test warehouse capacities, and deliver actionable data to de-risk production scale-up.
  • Implement Hands-On Lean Improvements: Champion continuous floor-level improvements (e.g., Gemba walks, continuous flow, one-piece flow, poka-yoke solutions) to rapidly deploy iterative, high-impact solutions without requiring massive capital expenditures.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with progressive experience (Mid to Staff level) in a high-rate supply chain or manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to read technical drawings and CAD data, with a solid understanding of manufacturing processes for complex structural, mechanical, electromechanical, or electronics assemblies (PCBAs, sensor hardware).
  • Material Flow & Plant Layouts: Practical expertise in warehouse design, workstation design, value stream mapping, material replenishment strategies (e.g., continuous flow, line-side staging), and spatial planning.
  • Data Analytics & Systems: Hands-on experience with SQL databases, building custom queries, and working with MES, WMS, or ERP platforms (such as NetSuite or Oracle).
  • Simulation & Line Modeling: Experience with discrete event simulation software (e.g., Siemens Plant Simulation, Visual Components, Process Simulate) or stochastic line modeling techniques.
  • Holistic Problem-Solving & Agility: Demonstrated track record of end-to-end ownership of complex operational challenges, delivering sustainable improvements, and presenting data-driven recommendations.
