Anduril’s Supply Chain team is seeking an Industrial Engineer to join us. Working with a global network of suppliers, to support a global manufacturing platform takes people who are willing to work hard and find ways to win. As an Industrial Engineer, you will have responsibility for optimizing Anduril’s supply chain's warehousing and material flow operations for best-in-class quality, reliability, speed, and asset utilization, all while meeting critical customer deployment and internal development timelines. The Industrial Engineer will be instrumental in taking a data-driven approach to designing production lines and associated manufacturing processes to meet these objectives. Executing on this responsibility will entail active collaboration with other Anduril teams, including but not limited to Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Business Operations.

The right person for this role can demonstrate past holistic ownership on solving operational challenges with creative solutions in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment. This person will be flexible to provide support wherever needed to ensure products are built and shipped under stringent quality standards. If you are someone who thrives in such an environment, then this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Collaborate and work across multiple programs from development to full rate production to scale best-in-class solutions to align with maturity of the supply chain and manufacturing process
• Proactively identify imbalances and bottlenecks caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints; flag constraints with the appropriate owners across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality and drive to resolution
• Own the metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, such as cycle time, throughput rate, capacity, utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy
• Time studies of current and developing processes to ensure efficiency across warehouse and operations
• Develop processes to optimize work plans for highly variable demands across multiple sites
• Translate tools and reports into actionable tasks that impact the health of warehouse operations across a plethora of processes and sites
• Produce and maintain tools to increase accuracy of work demand for new facilities and maturing processes using a data-driven approach using tools such as Value Stream Mapping/ Process Mapping/ Line Balancing techniques
• Make an impact to the warehouse team - value incremental improvements to push them to the floor as quickly as possible, and iterate until we reach a world-class level

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, or other related fields 
• 3+ years of experience in a high-rate supply chain-type or manufacturing environment, where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies were built with heavy data utilization
• Ability to read technical documentation such as drawings and CAD data, understanding a variety of hardware manufacturing processes for both electronics (PCBAs, sensor hardware, etc.), structures, mechanical components, and electromechanical systems
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% of the time

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with Department or Factory design and set up - Value Stream mapping, Flow lines, continuous flow, one piece flow, workstation design
• Ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish, measuring each step of the process, creating actionable tasks that culminated in a significant and sustainable business improvement
• Demonstrated ability of presenting project results to a cross functional team with clearly relating data to proposed next steps
• Prior experience with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production operations or Warehouse Management System (WMS)
• Prior knowledge of NetSuite, Oracle or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
