Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to design and optimize the manufacturing operations for undersea vehicle builds in a fast-paced R&D-to-production environment.

You will own production-line layouts, capacity planning, and KPI health, collaborating with Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Operations to deliver on-time, on-spec products while processes mature from prototype to full-rate production.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a low-rate, high-mix manufacturing or supply-chain role building complex electro‑mechanical assemblies, with heavy reliance on data.
• Experience managing large capex budgets — specifying, sourcing, and commissioning manufacturing / test equipment for heavy complex assemblies.
• Proven line/facility design: value stream mapping, continuous/one‑piece flow, and workstation design
• Deep material-flow expertise: pull systems, Kanban, min/max, part presentation, lineside racking and packaging
• Experience modeling operations in production simulation software (Siemens Plant Simulation / Process Simulation)
• Demonstrated end‑to‑end ownership of a value chain, coordinating internal and external parties to hit on‑time, on‑quality deliveries
• Working knowledge of an MES and an ERP (Oracle or equivalent)
• Grounding in Lean Manufacturing principles and implementation
• Able to read technical documentation (drawings, vendor schematics, CAD) and understand hardware processes across electronics and mechanical structures
• Bias toward speed and accuracy and a willingness to take on responsibility across manufacturing, engineering, and operations
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Responsibilities

• Design production lines and workstation layouts for undersea vehicle build — from R&D/low-rate through full-rate — using Value Stream Mapping, line balancing, and material-flow (pull/Kanban) methods
• Specify, justify, and deploy capital equipment and tooling — define requirements for large-scale assembly, handling, and test equipment; own the business case and capex justification; and manage vendor selection, build, install, and qualification through to production readiness
• Own the production-health metrics and KPIs (cycle time, throughput, capacity, utilization, first-pass yield, quality) and build the tools and reports that communicate line health to Manufacturing leads and across the org
• Model and simulate operations (e.g., Siemens Plant/Process Simulation) to test layout and capacity scenarios before committing capital and floor space
• Identify bottlenecks and constraints — layout, part shortages, staffing, tooling — flag them to the right owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality, and drive resolution so decision‑makers have clear clear-to-build, cut‑in, and buy signals
