Industrial Engineer, Production Controls & SimulationActive$114K

Anduril's Manufacturing Technology, Maritime Team is building the next generation of advanced AI-driven factories to manufacture large-scale autonomous maritime systems at unprecedented speed and scale. The Maritime Manufacturing Technology Team is responsible for rapidly…

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain discrete event simulation (DES) models of maritime: manufacturing processes to support production planning and facility layout decisions

• Build and operate critical chain project management models to drive: production scheduling and resource leveling

• Write scripts and build technology-driven workflows to automate production: control tasks and streamline planning processes

• Collaborate with manufacturing technology teams to validate simulation: assumptions against physical reality and implement process improvements

• Provide data-driven analysis to support capital equipment investments,: make-vs-buy decisions, and capacity planning

• Create visualizations and reports that enable cross-functional teams (design,: ops, finance, leadership) to understand factory behavior and make informed decisions

What they're looking for

• Master's degree or coursework emphasis in Operations Research, simulation, or optimization
• Experience with critical chain project management concepts or tools (Aurora: from Stottler Henke, ProChain, or similar)
• Experience scripting or building automated workflows to support production planning or engineering processes
• Familiarity with manufacturing environments—shipyard, aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing
• Programming skills in Python for custom analysis, automation, and integration
• Knowledge of Lean manufacturing, Theory of Constraints, or Six Sigma methodologies
• Experience with digital twin concepts or integration of simulation with production systems (MES/ERP)
• Internship or project experience in factory layout, capacity planning, or production scheduling
