Job summary

Anduril Industries in Santa Ana, CA, is seeking an Industrial Engineer for the Production Controls team to develop discrete event simulation models and schedules that drive production planning for our AI-driven maritime factory.

You will translate analytical insights into actionable production control decisions, write scripts, and build automated workflows to increase throughput and speed of decision‑making in manufacturing at scale.

Qualifications

8+ years designing production systems, factory layouts, or manufacturing lines for large, complex, low-rate products: ships, aircraft, spacecraft, heavy industrial, or similar.
Ability to build capacity models, defend numbers, and be held to them.
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.
Capacity plans and rate models: units per year under a given configuration, with the sensitivity analysis behind the number.
Sequencing of operations and work flow: how a build is broken into stations, what runs in parallel, where the unit sits and for how long.
Discrete-event simulation of the factory and the line, used as the primary way we validate capacity before the building exists.
Designing and optimizing the production system by integrating design, supply base, facilities, equipment, and personnel.
