About the role

Industrial Engineer role focused on scalable, enterprise-grade industrial engineering capabilities for Anduril’s multi-site manufacturing footprint, including labor standards, factory layouts, and simulation to de-risk production scale-up.

Responsibilities

  • Architect Scalable Industrial Engineering Systems: Build, govern, and scale long-lived enterprise capabilities—establishing centralized repositories and single sources of truth for labor content, factory layouts, or stochastic capacity models across production sites.
  • Establish Labor Standards & Work Measurement: Define and lead defensible time study methodologies (e.g., MODAPTS, MTM, stopwatch, video analysis), manage labor content maturity through NPI and Engineering Change Order (ECO) lifecycles, and integrate validated times directly into Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to drive line balancing and staffing models.
  • Design & Optimize Factory Footprints: Architect data-driven 2D/3D manufacturing line layouts, cellular configurations (U-cells, one-piece flow), and ergonomic workstations using factory CAD tools; curate standardized CAD shape libraries; and design integrated material flow systems (kitting strategies, line-side delivery) in collaboration with Facilities and Real Estate.
  • Model Capacity, Bottlenecks & Capital ROI: Develop dynamic Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models and automated data pipelines (Python/SQL) to stress-test production ramps, identify throughput constraints, and deliver quantified ROI trade-off analyses for major capital investments.
  • Bridge Design & Operations: Connect validated industrial engineering data to operational decision-making, partnering cross-functionally with Design, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Program Management to de-risk production scale-up.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations Research, Systems Engineering, or related field
  • 6+ years of progressive experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Specialized core competency in one or more of the following tracks: Labor Standards (time study methodologies and MES/ERP integration), Layouts & Spatial Planning (factory CAD tools, cell design, material flow), Simulation & Operations Research (DES platforms; Python/SQL)
  • System Longevity & Adoption: proven ability to create tools/templates/governance that are actively used by operations
  • Cross-Functional Communication & Ambiguity: ability to translate analyses into clear recommendations for non-technical decision-makers
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
