About the role

As an Industrial Engineer on the Production Controls team, you will develop and maintain discrete event simulation models and critical chain schedules that drive production planning for Anduril's advanced AI factory. You will use simulation and modeling tools to visualize production systems, identify bottlenecks, and optimize resource allocation—translating analytical insights into actionable production control decisions.

What they're looking for

  • 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
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
