Industrial Engineer - Discrete Simulation

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril’s Manufacturing team is seeking an Industrial Engineer to join our team. The Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware, including static equipment, moving ground equipment, sensors, undersea, and flight vehicles.

As an Industrial Engineer focused on discrete simulations, you will provide technical assistance in the areas of, manufacturing processes, factory design, continuous flow, material flow, facility planning. The Simulation Engineer is responsible for building simulation models to predict throughput for new program launches, modifications, and improvements to the existing programs.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

This position studies the plant layouts, gathers all the pertinent data required to build a model that will accurately identify bottleneck areas, and guides the launch & manufacturing teams to the right areas for throughput improvements.

• The Discrete Simulation Engineer is responsible for building simulation models to predict throughput for new program launches, modifications, and improvements to the existing programs.
• The Discrete Simulation Engineer will analyze systems and provide cost-effective improvement recommendations based on experimentation to achieve program targets.

The candidate must have a thorough understanding of manufacturing and operations processes in all categories: Low volume/high mix, high volume/ low mix. Additionally, the candidate must possess 3~5 years experience working with discrete event simulation in particular Siemens “PlantSim” and “ProcessSim”, AutoCAD layouts, probability & statistics, data filtering, and developing results visualization.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial)
• Motivated to plan aggressively, accept challenges, take responsibility for assignments, and deliver objectives on time.
• Strong leadership skills - especially in areas of teamwork, drive for results, and business acumen
• Prior manufacturing experience
• Minimum 3+ years of experience in building models using discrete event simulation.
• Minimum 3+ years of experience with Siemens Technomatix “Plant Sim” simulation software
• Basic knowledge in object-oriented computer programming (example languages: Python, R, C++, Java, Basic, Simtalk...etc.)
• Proficient in handling large data sets, including filtering, identifying trends, and graphical representation.
• Reading and understanding assembly technical drawings and conveyor system layouts
• Knowledge of the inputs required to build an accurate simulation model.
• Solid understanding of Lean Manufacturing/JIT principles, both in theory and practical application.

PREFERRED SKILLS

• Candidate should have a BS degree in a technical/ engineering related discipline, or equivalent working experience with manufacturing engineering disciplines and software solutions
• Preferred candidate has experience with Siemens Xcelerator software portfolio including Teamcenter core, manufacturing process planner, and manufacturing simulation
• 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
