Job summary

Anduril Industries in Santa Ana, California is seeking a Lead Industrial Engineer on the Production Controls team to own the integrated schedule model across programs and shared resources. This hands-on role requires building and maintaining a critical chain production model to optimize capacity for our advanced maritime factory.

You will guide sequencing, buffers, and discrete-event simulations, coordinate with design, supply and facilities, and provide technical leadership to internal teams

Qualifications

• Industrial engineering, production planning, scheduling, or manufacturing operations background.
• Critical chain, theory of constraints, or buffer management experience.
• Low volume, high mix, or engineered-to-order environment.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to access to U.S. export controlled information.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Plant and equipment layouts, material flow paths, and space allocation for a new maritime factory.
• Build the production model: precedence networks, resource definitions, durations, and constraints.
• Integrate frequent changes into the model and keep it matched to how work actually runs.
• Size and manage buffers; track consumption and drive recovery.
• Capacity plans and rate models: units per year under a given configuration, with sensitivity analysis.
• Sequencing of operations and work flow: breakdown into stations and parallel runs.
• Discrete-event simulation of the factory and line to validate capacity before building.
• Design and optimize production system across design, supply base, facilities, equipment, and personnel.
• Feed the precedence network that the scheduling system (LOKI) plans against.
• Technical direction on production system design across build processes; set the method.
• Trade studies and design reviews: configuration, bay allocation, automation, station count.
• Flex to cover scheduling and production control gaps.
