About The Position

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company focused on transforming military capabilities with advanced technology. The Manufacturing team is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to optimize manufacturing operations for quality, reliability, speed, and asset utilization. This role involves designing production lines and manufacturing processes using a data-driven approach, collaborating with various teams, and ensuring products meet stringent quality standards in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment.

Requirements

5+ years past experience in a high-rate manufacturing environment in either a production or supply chain-type role where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies were built with heavy data utilization
Factory and/or production line design and set up - Value Stream mapping, Flow lines, continuous flow, one piece flow, workstation design
Material Flow Systems - designing how material flow around a facility, pull systems, Kanban, Min/ max calculations, Part presentation to operator, Tote bin packaging, lineside racking.
Digital Systems - experience of using Siemens "Plant Simulation", "Process Simulation" software to model a production line and run production scenarios.
Demonstrated ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish, coordinating among multiple different internal and external parties to achieve on-time deliveries under stringent quality standards
Prior knowledge or experience with ERP, WMS and MES systems
Experience with Lean Manufacturing principles/implementation
Ability to demonstrate a willingness to take on substantial responsibility across manufacturing, engineering, and operations functions with a bias towards speed and accuracy
Strong technical ability to read technical documentation such as drawings and CAD data, understanding of a variety of hardware manufacturing processes for both electronics (PCBAs, sensor hardware, etc.) and structures, mechanical components, and electromechanical systems

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree or higher in industrial, mechanical/aerospace/manufacturing, electrical, or computer engineering
Prior work designing and/or setting up new production lines or factories - from process mapping through to collaborating with infrastructure design partners and detailed work station design
Experience interacting with SQL databases - storage of information and building custom queries for tracking production and inventory-related metrics
Experience with production simulation software (Siemens/PlantSim/ProcessSim) or equivalent DES (Promodel, FlexSim, Simio, etc)
Basic knowledge in object-oriented computer programming (example languages: Python, R, C++, Java, etc.) OR working with large data sets with SQL or No-SQL
Knowledge stochastic/deterministic models and when to apply them
Proficient in handling large data sets, including filtering, identifying trends, and graphical representation.
Candidate should have knowledge of design engineering and manufacturing engineering processes including: 3D CAD design/modeling of parts and assemblies, 3D factory layout, Manufacturing process planning of fabricated parts, and complex discrete assembly process, Manufacturing simulation of assembly processes, human ergonomics, and discrete event simulation
Strong manufacturing data analytics and statistical analysis background with proficiency in statistical process control

Responsibilities

Produce and maintain capacity models and production ramp plans to define labor planning, capex requirements, workstation design, and throughput gaps.
Design effective facility layouts and production lines using CAD and simulation which meet process requirements, enable production targets, optimize resource allocation and material flow, and maximize productivity and quality.
Identify and champion improvements to key causes of high variability or production bottlenecks, driving actions to resolution across disciplines and stakeholders.
Leverage a data-driven approach to production design and process improvements to improve throughput.
Own the reporting and analysis of manufacturing health and ensure that stakeholders have the inputs they need to make decisions across Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Growth.
Maintain a data-driven virtual factory to serve as a current digital reference model for performance assessment.
Lead the design of production lines and workstations for both low-rate and full-rate production using techniques like Value Stream Mapping and Line Balancing.
