The opportunity
At Anduril, our Industrial Engineers in Supply Chain Material Flow are the architects of operational scalability, taking cutting-edge defense hardware—including complex mechanical assemblies, electronic sensor payloads, and autonomous systems—and transforming them into mature,…
What you'll do
Scale Material Flow & Logistics Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize scalable warehousing, line-side material delivery, kitting workflows, and inventory movement across multiple programs from initial development to full-rate production.
Identify Bottlenecks & Drive Resolution: Proactively identify and eliminate imbalances caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, and operational constraints by partnering cross-functionally across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Operations.
Govern Production Metrics & Operational KPIs: Own the data systems, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, including cycle times, throughput rate, capacity utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy.
Execute Time Studies & Line Balancing: Perform rigorous time studies, value stream mapping (VSM), process mapping, and line balancing to optimize dynamic workplans and work demand for new and maturing facilities.
Model Production & Material Flow Scenarios: Utilize discrete event simulation and layout modeling tools to test operational scenarios, stress-test warehouse capacities, and deliver actionable data to de-risk production scale-up.
Implement Hands-On Lean Improvements: Champion continuous floor-level improvements (e.g., Gemba walks, continuous flow, one-piece flow, poka-yoke solutions) to rapidly deploy iterative, high-impact solutions without requiring massive capital expenditures.
