Anduril Industries Staff Industrial Engineer on Maritime Production System Design team developing AI-driven factories for autonomous maritime systems. Use simulation and modeling to optimize production planning and resource allocation.
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.
Feeding the precedence network that our dynamic scheduling system (LOKI) plans against.
Technical direction on production system design across VCS and Megalodon build processes: you set the method, others execute it.
Requirements to our architecture/engineering firm and outside consultants, and review of what comes back.
The trade studies that close at design review: building configuration, bay allocation, automation degree, station count.

Required
10+ years in production system design, factory design, or manufacturing engineering for large complex products, including at least one program where you owned the capacity or rate commitment.
Demonstrated capacity or rate modeling: you have built the model, defended the number, and been held to it.
Comfort with simulation or quantitative modeling (FlexSim, Simio, AnyLogic, Plant Simulation, or Python).
No degree required. We hire on demonstrated capability. Apprenticeship, Navy Nuclear Power School, military experience, trade background, or self-taught modeling all count.
